Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis occur with a hematological emergency.
2. Tumor lysis causes a metabolic emergency. Because of electrolyte imbalance, the signs can be oliguria and altered levels of consciousness. Thrombocytopenia and leukocytosis occur with a hematological emergency.
3. Respiratory distress and cyanosis would be associated with space-occupying lesions or a hematologic emergency.
4. Upper-extremity edema and neck vein distension are not priority concerns for this client.
