All of the patients listed have cancer and are receiving chemotherapy. Which patient does the nurse evaluate as having the highest probability for a remission?
The patient who is a former physician
The patient who is also seeing a psychiatrist for treatment of depression
The wealthy patient who can afford the best medical care available
The patient with a support group of cancer survivors
Homework Answers
"highest probability for a remission" means there is a great chance that a particular person will not be affected by cancer in his/her later life i.e. disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer permanently.
the patient with a support group of cancer survivors will be evaluated as having the highest probability for remission because they have an active and positive role towards physical, medical, emotional health needs. The reoccurrence of cancer depends on the overall health of the patient.
