Answer to Question 1

D
Despite the incredible advances made in cancer care, many long-term survivors suffer unnecessarily and die from delayed second cancer diagnoses or treatment-related chronic disease. Evidence suggests that survivors among racial and ethnic minorities and other underserved populations have more post-treatment symptoms and poorer treatment outcomes than Caucasians. Once treatment is completed, contact with a cancer care provider often stops, and survivors' needs go unnoticed or untreated.

Answer to Question 2

D
The nurse is not doing a complete, general assessment and then focusing on specific problem areas. Instead, the nurse focuses immediately on the problem at hand and performs a problem-oriented assessment. Utilizing Gordon's Functional Health Patterns is an example of a structured database-type assessment technique. The nurse in this question is performing a specific problem-oriented assessment approach. The nurse is not performing an activity-exercise pattern assessment in this question.
