Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Some patients receive care at cancer centers without this type of resource and may not have a survivor care plan. Thus nurses and other health care providers need to become more vigilant in recognizing cancer survivors and attempting to link them with the support and resources they require. Ideally, the nurse reviews a survivorship care plan with a patient at the time of discharge from a treatment program and not at home. The plan becomes a guide for any future cancer or cancer-related care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
When a survivor is released from an oncologist, the internist and other health care providers provide and coordinate care based on knowledge of prior cancer history and treatment. To meet the health care needs of cancer survivors, it is essential for a survivorship care plan to be written by the principal provider (not the nurse) who coordinates the patient's oncology treatment. Depending upon the issue, there may be several health care providers who may be a better choice. Proper cancer treatment will include a follow-up plan or survivorship care plan. The nurse will still advise the patient to call the health care provider if there are issues and to follow the instructions given, but acknowledging the team approach that is used and available support is most valuable to the patient at the time of discharge.
