Study Notes
Multiple Myeloma
- Increased calcium level in the blood is a characteristic of multiple myeloma due to the release of calcium from deteriorating bone tissue
- Anemia is a common finding in clients with multiple myeloma
- Elevated blood urea nitrogen level is also a characteristic of multiple myeloma
- Proliferation of plasma cells in the bone marrow is a hallmark of multiple myeloma
Client Care for Multiple Myeloma
- Administering fluids in adequate amounts to maintain a urine output of 1.5 to 2 L/day is a priority in managing hypercalcemia
- Fluid intake of approximately 3 L/day is required to achieve the desired urine output
Radiation Precautions for Cervical Cancer
- Limiting time spent in the client's room to 30 minutes per shift is a radiation precaution
- Placing the client in a private room with a private bath is necessary
- Wearing a lead shield when providing direct client care is required
- Pregnant individuals and children younger than 16 years old are not allowed in the client's room
