In the TNM staging system for cancer, the letter T in the acronym TNM stands for tumor size. Which of the following are the correct descriptions for "N" and "M" (select 2 answers)?
- A.
  
  N: number of tumors in the body, whether malignant or benign.
- B.
  
  N: (lymph) nodes have been affected.
- C.
  
  M: malignant or benign tumor classification

- E.
  
  One of the above choices is incorrect.
Correct Answer(s)
B. N: (lymph) nodes have been affected.
D. M: metastatic (has already mobilized) tumor

Explanation
The letter N in the TNM staging system stands for whether the (lymph) nodes have been affected. This means that it assesses whether the cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. The letter M in the TNM staging system stands for a metastatic tumor, which means that the cancer has already spread to distant parts of the body. These two descriptions are correct in the context of the TNM staging system for cancer.

Correct Answer
B. May be affected cognitively or emotionally

Explanation
"Chemo brain" refers to cognitive and emotional changes that can occur as a result of chemotherapy treatment. It is not directly related to physical symptoms such as swelling of the hypothalamus, internal bleeding, or loss of motor control. Instead, patients may experience difficulties with memory, concentration, and emotional well-being. These cognitive and emotional effects can be temporary or long-lasting, and can vary in severity from person to person.

- A.
  
  Coronary heart disease
- B.
  
  CVR
- C.
  
  Myocardial Infarction
- D.
Correct Answer
C. Myocardial Infarction

Explanation
Myocardial Infarction is the most closely associated term with "heart attack" in which there is a death of heart tissue. Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when the blood flow to a part of the heart is blocked, leading to the death of heart muscle cells. This condition is often caused by a blockage in one or more of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart. Coronary heart disease is a broader term that refers to the narrowing or blockage of these arteries, while CVR is not directly related to heart attacks or the death of heart tissue.

90% of hypertension is unknown in origin (the remaining five percent occurs due to failures of the kidney to regulate blood pressure).Hypertension unknown in origin is also known as _____________ hypertension.

Correct Answer
essential

Explanation
Essential hypertension refers to high blood pressure that has no identifiable cause. It is estimated that approximately 90% of cases of hypertension fall into this category, meaning that the exact reason for the elevated blood pressure is unknown. The remaining 10% of cases can be attributed to specific factors such as kidney problems. Therefore, essential hypertension is the correct term for hypertension of unknown origin.

- C.
  
  Is insulin resistant
- D.
  
  A and C
- E.
  
  B and C
Correct Answer
A. Is insulin dependent; body feeds off its own fats and proteins due to the immune system destroying cells that produce insulin (beta cells of the pancreas)

Explanation
Type II diabetes is NOT insulin dependent; those who suffer from it are insulin resistant causing an imbalance between insulin production and action and is regulated by controlling blood sugar levels and through exercise.

Which of the following is not a major factor in mortality trends?
- A.
  
  Race
- B.
  
  Gender
- C.
  
  Income
- D.
  
  Education
- E.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
E. None of the above

Explanation
The question asks for a factor that is not a major contributor to mortality trends. The options provided include race, gender, income, education, and "none of the above." The correct answer, "none of the above," implies that all of the factors listed (race, gender, income, and education) are major factors in mortality trends. Therefore, the correct answer suggests that all of these factors play a significant role in determining mortality rates.
