Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A venous access device is implanted subcutaneously for continuous or intermittent injections. A tunnel is created from the point at which the catheter enters the vessel, cavity, or space to a subcutaneous pocket. The pocket is made wherever necessary to stabilize the port.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Factors that determine the ability of tumor cells to respond to chemotherapy include size, location of the tumor, type of tumor, whether lymph nodes are involved, condition of the patient, combinations of adjuvant therapy, biochemical requirements of the tumor, and life cycle of the cancer cells and whether it is curative.
