Constipation Itching Muscle cramps Weight loss Hyperphosphatemia can lead to muscle cramps and tetany due to its effect on calcium levels. Hyperphosphatemia can lead to muscle cramps and tetany due to its effect on calcium levels. 2 / 10 Which of the following is a key nursing intervention for a patient at risk of TLS? Monitoring blood glucose levels Restricting fluid intake Encouraging a high-calcium diet Close monitoring of electrolyte levels Close monitoring of electrolyte levels is crucial for detecting and managing the imbalances associated with TLS. Close monitoring of electrolyte levels is crucial for detecting and managing the imbalances associated with TLS. 3 / 10 Which medication is used to treat hyperkalemia by shifting potassium into cells? Calcium gluconate Sodium bicarbonate Insulin with dextrose Kayexalate Insulin with dextrose is used to shift potassium from the bloodstream into the cells, temporarily reducing serum potassium levels. Insulin with dextrose is used to shift potassium from the bloodstream into the cells, temporarily reducing serum potassium levels. 4 / 10 What is the primary purpose of administering IV fluids to a patient with TLS? To prevent dehydration To enhance the excretion of released intracellular contents To manage pain To increase blood pressure IV fluids help flush out the released intracellular contents, such as uric acid and electrolytes, through the kidneys, reducing the risk of renal damage. IV fluids help flush out the released intracellular contents, such as uric acid and electrolytes, through the kidneys, reducing the risk of renal damage. 5 / 10 The presence of which symptom suggests that a patient with TLS might be experiencing hypocalcemia? Muscle weakness Trousseau's sign Polyuria Hypertension Trousseau's sign is a clinical indication of hypocalcemia, which is a common electrolyte disturbance in TLS. Trousseau's sign is a clinical indication of hypocalcemia, which is a common electrolyte disturbance in TLS. 6 / 10 Which laboratory test result is most indicative of TLS? Decreased hemoglobin low blood phosphatase Elevated serum creatinine Low white blood cell count Elevated serum creatinine indicates renal impairment, which is a common complication of TLS due to the precipitation of uric acid in the kidneys. Elevated serum creatinine indicates renal impairment, which is a common complication of TLS due to the precipitation of uric acid in the kidneys. 7 / 10 What is the first-line treatment for hyperuricemia in TLS? Allopurinol Rasburicase Methotrexate Furosemide Allopurinol is commonly used to prevent and treat hyperuricemia in patients with TLS by inhibiting the formation of uric acid. Allopurinol is commonly used to prevent and treat hyperuricemia in patients with TLS by inhibiting the formation of uric acid. 8 / 10 A patient with TLS is at risk for which of the following cardiac complications? Bradycardia Tachycardia Arrhythmias Hypertension Hyperkalemia and other electrolyte imbalances in TLS can lead to dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. Hyperkalemia and other electrolyte imbalances in TLS can lead to dangerous cardiac arrhythmias. 9 / 10 Which electrolyte imbalance is most commonly associated with Tumor Lysis Syndrome? Hyperkalemia Hypokalemia Hypophosphatemia Hypernatremia TLS often leads to hyperkalemia due to the release of potassium from lysed tumor cells. TLS often leads to hyperkalemia due to the release of potassium from lysed tumor cells. 10 / 10 What is the primary cause of Tumor Lysis Syndrome? Chemotherapy-induced tumor cell lysis Radiation therapy Surgical removal of a tumor Long-term use of corticosteroids TLS occurs when a large number of tumor cells are rapidly destroyed by chemotherapy, releasing their intracellular contents into the bloodstream. TLS occurs when a large number of tumor cells are rapidly destroyed by chemotherapy, releasing their intracellular contents into the bloodstream.
