Question
Chapter 15.4, Problem 2CS
Summary Introduction
To determine: Whether the drug used in the inhibition of protein kinase can be used to combat cancer.
Introduction: The malfunctioning in the signaling pathway of cell division causes irregularities in the growth of the cell. The uncontrolled growth of the cell leads to cancer.. The agents that cause cancer are categorized under “carcinogens.”

The client received recommended chemotherapy and radiation, but it was found recently that the cancer has metastasized to the chest and skull. There is lymph node involvement with a primary tumor partially obstructing the right kidney. The client was readmitted 4 days ago for removal of the remaining portion of the left leg and was told that there is no appropriate surgical or medical intervention that would be beneficial at this point in the disease process. The interdisciplinary health care team has recommended palliative care upon discharge since the client’s life expectancy is between 3 and 5 months. The client has developed a mutually respectful relationship with a nurse on the unit who has provided care throughout all previous hospitalizations.
