25
Tumor Lysis syndrome
Complication of cancer treatment large amounts of tumor cells destroyed and components in blood stream -hyperuricemia,hyperkalemia,hyperphosphatemia, hypocalcemia Nurse role: Monitor for bleeding, infections, pain, end of life issues
26
Chronic leukemia
Less likely to be terminal Two types: Chronic lymphocytic leukemia Chronic myelogenous leukemia
27
Chronic leukemia…
Progresses more slowly -longer life expectancy -cells better differentiated -unknown cause Link between Epstein Barr virus Predisposition in families
28
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia
Older person (>72 usually) -malignant transformation of B cells “B symptoms”: fevers, night sweats, unintentional weight loss, and infections
29
CLL S/S
Weak, fatigue, painful lymphadenopathy Anemia Thrombocytopenia (depending on stage) Enlarged spleen Elevated WBC
30
CLL Dx and tx
Bone marrow biopsy Tx not started until S/S appear severe Not curable, only induce periods of remission -combo therapy -radiation to thymus, spleen, entire body -older person have heightened risk of second malignancy with radiation
31
CLL progression requires…
Nutritional support, pain control ,skin care, emotional support
32
Chronic myelogenous leukemia
Overproduction of abnormal myeloid/blast -uncontrolled proliferation of granulocytes -causes bone marrow and organs to enlarge (pain) Risk dramatically increases with age, if in chronic stage life expectancy >5 yrs No known cause except ionizing radiation
33
CML S/S
Philadelphia chromosome- good Dx marker in 95% pts -asymptomatic with leukocytes is Classic chronic symptoms: -fatigue, weakness, anorexia, weight loss, splenomegaly -SOB, confusion with high leukocyte counts -hepatomegaly, but functional -fever and adenopathy in blast stage WBC 15,000-500,000
34
Tx CML
Therapeutic blood draws to draw out some WBCs (dec blood viscosity) Goal= control proliferation of WBC/induce remission -bone marrow transplants -leukophoresis (>300,000) -hydroxurea
35
Nursing care for pts with leukemia
Know potential effects of leukemia and of tx and assess -manage mucositis -control pain and discomfort - risk of dehydration -weakness and fatigue (fall risk) -rest between activities -assist with self care - anxiety/grieg -hospice/ home health
36
Hodgikin’s lymphoma
More common in immunosuppressant pts Reed-sternburg cells
37
Hodgkin’s lymphoma S/S
First sign= enlarged cervical node -one or more enlarged painless lymph node(s) “B” symptoms -fatigue, pruritus, early mild anemia then worsens and accompanies with weight loss (poor prognosis) -inc ESR, leukocytosis eosinophilia, leukopenia, PLT normal -impaired cellular immunity so dec response to skin testing
38
Multiple myeloma
Worst cancer, most aggressive 5 year survival for new Dx pts Infiltrates bone marrow and aggregates into tumor masses in skeletal system
39
MM presentation
Bone pain , bone lesions (destruction of bone tissue, inc calcium form reabsorption of bone by osteoclasts) RF secondary to hypercalcemia Anemia d/T inhibited erythropoiesis
40
MM S/S
Pathological fx Back pain/ribs pain Repeated infection form suppressed humoral response (pneumonia/phyelonephritis) -fever wight loss, night sweats, breakdown of bone can lead to RF
41
Dx of multiple myeloma
Blood test, sudden inc in protein in blood/urine CRAB C=elevated calcium (bone breakdown ) R=renal insufficiency A=anemia B=bone lesion BMA X-ray Nuclear bone scan
42
tx of MM
No cure, poor prognosis Chemo-treat immediate and high grade Radiation Plasmapheresis-when blood viscosity is high -mostly end of life care
43
Caution-cancer
Things to look out for C=change in bowel and bladder habits A= A sore that does not heal U= Unusual bleeding or discharge (women after menopause should NOT bleed) T= thickening or a lump in breast or elsewhere I= Indigestions or difficulty swallowing O= Obvious change in wart or mole N=nagging cough or hoarseness
44
Major treatment modalities- chemo
Systemic form of tx->destroys greatest number of cancer cells (goal= w/o irreversible damage to normal cells) - destroys rapidly growing cells; interferes w/ cell growth and division -nurse must be educated to administer -same nurse who prepares dose does not administer -another nurse must check MD order and IV contents
45
Major treatment modalities-radiation
Damage cancer cells during different phases of cell division -duration= once/day for 5 days for 2-8 weeks (must give cancer cells time to reoxygenate) -internal/external Markings made on skin (with marker to mark location-most precise)
46
External radiation
Treat superficial lesions and deeper structures Skin care: inspect for redness, ask about changes in sensation No lotions, ointment, powders, or soaps Do not wash off skin marking
47
internal radiation
Brachytherapy- high dose to localized area via implants, needles, seeds, beads, catheters Pt=reverse isolation- protect pts and visitors (pt emits radiation)
48
S/e of tx- neutropenia
Depleted WBC, high risk of infection -chemo not given if ANC= <1,500/cmm -precautions for ANC= <1,000/cmm -avoid animal contact -no rectal exams/procedures -no fresh flowers -private room desirable -use fresh ground pepper -low microbial diet - reverse isolation if ANC= <500 -STRICT HANDWASHING BY ALL STAFF AND FAMILY
49
S/e of tx of thrombocytopenia
Depleted platelets, high risk of bleeding -chemo not given if PLT= <100,000cmm -hold all sticks for 5 min -use electric razors only -no rectal temps, enemas, suppositories, or examinations -no IM injections -use stool softeners (avoid straining) -no aspirin or aspirin-containing products/anticoagulants -observe daily for petechia, ecchymosis, hematuria and inc ICP
50

51
SVCS
Superior vena cava syndrome-oncologic emergency
52
S/S SVCS
Progressive SOB, cough, facial swelling, edema of neck, arms, hands, thorax, tightness and difficulty swelling, engorged and distended jugular
53
management of SVCS
Radiation-shrink tumor and relieve symptoms -chemotherapy, oxygen therapy, anticoagulant therapy, diuretics
54
Nursing care for SVCS
Identify at risk pts -check CV and neuro status -position for easier breathing, minimize energy expenditure -watch fluid balance, admin fluids with caution -assess for dysphagia, esophagitis r/t radiation
55
Common physiologic complications-tumor lysis syndrome
Develops when cytotoxic therapies (chemo/irradation) cause destruction (lysis) of large number of rapidly dividing malignant cells -lysis of fast growing cells is greater than the body’s capacity to excrete the end-products of cell death
56
What is released when cells die
Potassium,phosphorus, nucleic acids into general circulation -results in hyperkalemia, hyperuricemia, hyperphosphatemia w/ secondary hypocalcemia -puts pt at risk for renal failure and alterations in cardiac function
57
How is superior vena cava syndrome treated
Radiation to shrink tumor and relieve symptoms, chemotherapy, oxygen therapy, anticoagulative therapy, and diuretics
58
Fluid management for superior vena cava complication
Electrolyte imbalances, administer fluids with caution, assess for dysphagia, esophagitis r/t radiation
59
EOL management for superior vena cava complication
Manage pain and symptoms, oxygen therapy , prevent bleeding with anticoagulant therapy and prevent infection.
60
What meds are used in tumor lysis syndrome
Allopurinol(urinary alkalization, prevents kidney stones and kidney damage leading to RF)
61
Client education-tumor lysis syndrome
Hydration is IMPORTANT, keep UOP at least 150mL/hr Allopurinol given orally 2-4 days prior to chemo
62
Osteoporosis
Porous bones, osteoclast activity greater than osteoblast activity leading to a decrease in bone density/mass-> risk for fx
63
Diagnostic procedures for osteoporosis
DEXA scan and T scores, Z scores
64
What does a DEXA scan respresents?
The bone density,
65
T scores- what do they represent?
The amount above or below the average healthy individual’s bone mass/density
66
Osteoporosis medications
Calcium, vitamin D supplements and biphosphonates
67
Actions of calcium supplements in osteoporosis
They are absorbed in the bloodstream to help keep up reserves/supplies with the osteoclast activity
68
Actions of vitamin D supplements in osteoporosis
Enhances absorption of calcium
69
Actions of biphosphonates in osteoporosis
Slow bone resorption
70
Nursing considerations-calcium; osteoporosis
Calcium better absorbed with vitamin D (orange juice/acidic drinks or substances) -supplements needed
71
Nursing considerations-vitamin D supplements; osteoporosis
Helps the absorption of calcium in the gut
72
Nursing considerations- biphosphonates; osteoporosis
Sit up in a chair for min 30 min when taking to avoid esophagitis. Tx taken for 3 yrs, if DEXA scan performed and if bone density is improved/maintained, Rx is d/c for 3 yrs DEXA results determine if Rx restarted
73
Osteoarthritis (OA)
Most common form of arthritis, major cause of disability “Degenerative joint disease” -progressive deterioration and loss of cartilage and bone in one or more joints
74
Patho of OA
Proteoglycans and water dec in joints, synovial fluid prod dec with age, enzymes breakdown cellular matrix. Cartilage erodes and joint space narrows-bone spurs develop. Progression: Fissures, calcifications, ulcerations develop and cartilage thins; inflammatory cytokines enhance deterioration and normal repair process cannot overcome degeneration
75
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
systemic autoimmune disorder in which systemic inflammation affects all joints. Usually Bilat
76
S/s osetoarthirits
Develop slowly, pain and tenderness worsens with activity, crepitus, stiffness in am, bone spurs, bony hypertrophy, joint effusions, unilateral, nodes (Heberden’s and Bouchard’s)
77
S/s rheumatoid arthritis
fever, fatigue, swan neck deformity of fingers, boutinierres, ulnar deviation of first metacarpal phalanges
78
Labs-OA
X-rays(determine changes in joints), MRI, CT(examining knee and vertebrae) ESR and C-reactive protein may be slightly elevated r/t secondary synovitis
79
Labs-RA
ESR(inc) CBC Rheumatoid factor (positive in RA) C-reactive protein(CRP)(measures substance in liver that inc in presence of inflamm) ANA(antinuclear antibody)(positive in RA and other autoimmune conditions like lupus)
80
Difference between OA and RA S/S
RA=systemic, autoimmune, stiffness ongoing, pain at rest OA=local, “wear and tear”, stiffness resolves, pain with movement
81
Difference between OA and RA labs
RF=RA, ANA, blood tests with inflammatory markers OA=imaging to see changes in joints and skeletal structures, no inflammatory markers
82
Pain management-arthritis
NSAIDs, DMARDS, Glucocorticoids
83
NSAIDs-arthritis pain management
RA Reduce pain and inflammation (ibuprofen, naproxen) Side effects= tinnitus, stomach irritation, heart problems, liver and kidney damage
84
Dietary supplements-arthritis pain management
OA Glucosamine(may dec inflammation) and chondroitin(may strengthen cartilage)=most effective non Rx supplements for pain and function RA Fish oil(reduce RA pain/stiffness) Plant oils (pain and morning stiffness relief from evening primrose, borage, black currant—> fatty acid)
85

prednisone Used in RA to reduce inflammation, pain, and slow joint damage Acute- goal=taper off Pulse therapy: high dose for short duration S/e=thinning of bones, weight gain, DM
87
Immunosuppressive agents- arthritis
Biological agents and steroids
88
Biologic agents (BRM)
Newer class of DMARDS Avatacept, adalimumab, rituximab,etc Target parts of the immune system that trigger inflammation and causes joint and tissue damage. Most effective when paired with nonbiologic DMARD(methotrexate)
89
Major side effects of immunosuppressants- arthritis
INFECTION Myelosupression-pancytopenia Bone pain Anemia-fainting/weakness/fatigue-fall precautions Osteoporosis GI irritation
