Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: This type of nurse is not called an antineoplastic administrator.
Rationale 2: This type of nurse is not called a chemotherapy nurse.
Rationale 3: This type of nurse is called an oncology nurse.
Rationale 4: This type of nurse is not called an IV therapy nurse.
Global Rationale: Oncology nurses have taken specific education to fulfill their role. The other terms do not explain this training.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Epoetin stimulates the production of RBCs.
Rationale 2: Interferon alfa is a biologic response modifier used to treat cancer.
Rationale 3: This is the correct answer.
Rationale 4: Oprelvekin stimulates the production of platelets.
Global Rationale: Colony stimulating factors such as filgrastim (Neupogen) increase neutrophil production in the bone marrow and enhance the phagocytic and cytotoxic functions of existing neutrophils. Epoetin stimulates production of RBCs and oprelvekin stimulates production of platelets. Interferon alfa does not affect cell colony growth.
