Title: A client scheduled to undergo a lymph node biopsy asks, “If lymph nodes are so prone to cancer, why Post by: BreakFree on Feb 8, 2015 A client scheduled to undergo a lymph node biopsy asks, “If lymph nodes are so prone to cancer, why don’t they just take them all out?” How should the nurse respond?
1. “Lymph nodes filter out all kinds of debris and are essential to our good health.” 2. “The surgeon will probably take out a majority of the nodes in the region where the biopsy will be done.” 3. “The cells that are in the lymph nodes actually help protect us from cancer.” 4. “The lymph nodes make up one of our best defenses against infection.” 5. “They usually do take out all the lymph nodes if the client has lymphoma.” Title: Re: A client scheduled to undergo a lymph node biopsy asks, “If lymph nodes are so prone to cancer, Post by: ngin on Feb 12, 2015 Content hidden
