A nurse provides teaching for a 25-year-old patient who will receive mitoxantrone [Novantrone] for worsening relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Which statement by the patient indicates a need for further teaching?

a. "I may experience cardiac side effects several years after receiving this drug."
b. "I should report fever, chills, cough, and hoarseness immediately."
c. "I will need an infusion of this medication once weekly."
d. "I will need a liver function test and a pregnancy test before each dose."

The correct answer is C- I will need an infusion of this medication once weekly.

Explanation:

Mitoxantrone is a anti cancer drug which is given to stop the growth and spread of cancer. It is infused in patients very slowly taking up to three to five minutes and administered once in every three months for 2 to 3 three years.

Liver functioning Tests and a pregnancy test should be done before each infusion.

The answer is Amoeba.

Amoeba belongs to kingdom protista and is characterized by moving using pseudopodia and capturing food via phagocytosis.

Amoeba is a type of cell or organism that has the ability to alter its shape by extending and retracting pseudopods. These amoeboid cells occur not only among the protozoa, but also in fungi, algae, and animals.
