Answer to Question 1

3
There are two basic reasons a patient has difficulty meeting treatment goals: (1) The patient does not understand what to do. (2) The patient understands what to do but fails to do it. When teaching the patient, discuss both of these reasons, with the goal of helping the patient make informed decisions about properly taking medications.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3
Alkylating agents are used to interfere with the normal process of cell division. This effect occurs in both malignant and normal cells, although malignant cells seem to be affected much more by the medications.
