Kasey is an RN who has worked on the busy surgical unit of a large city hospital for the past 6 years. As one of three RNs on the unit's day shift, she often serves as the charge nurse when the assigned charge nurse has a day off. She is hard working, caring, and well organized and provides high-quality care for the often very unstable postoperative clients they receive on a daily basis.

About 2 weeks ago, Kasey's mother was admitted for a high-risk surgical removal of a brain tumor that was not responding to chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The surgery did not go well, and Kasey's mother was admitted to the surgical unit after the procedure. During the past 2 weeks, she has shown a gradual but steady decline in condition and is no longer able to recognize her family, speak, or do any self-care. It is believed she will probably not live more than an other week.

Per hospital policy, Kasey is not assigned to care for her mother; however, during her shifts, Kasey is spending more and more time with her mother sometimes to the detriment of her assigned clients. She is also beginning to make more demands on the unit nursing staff, often overseeing their care and requesting that only certain nurses care for her mother. One of the other nurses on the unit suggested that Kasey's mother be moved to a less specialized unit. When Kasey heard about the suggestion, she became livid and loudly scolded the nurse for her insensitivity in the middle of the nurses' station.

Cancer is caused by rapid, uncontrolled cell division. Cells lose normal functions and invade normal surrounding tissues. Metastasize means to travel to another location. A tumor is named according to tissue of origin. Cause of cancer can be chemical physical, and biological. Some biological cancers are caused by diseases that suppress the immune system (HIV or immunosuppressant drugs after transplants).

Multiple drugs from different classes affect different stages in the cell cycle. The combinations allow for lower doses, which reduce toxicity and slow the development of resistance. Specific dosing protocol depends on the type of tumor, stage of the disease and overall condition of the patient. The drugs can be given as a single does or several doses and given within several days or after several weeks. This gives normal cells a chance to recover. Sometimes, the optimum does must be delayed to let the patient recover from drug toxicities.

It is difficult to kill cancer cells without killing normal cells. Serious toxicity limits therapy. Prophylactic treatment of symptoms are used to decrease the serious side effects.

Drugs that are vesicants can cause tissue injury.
