These questions are designed to engage students’ interest as a unit is introduced, not to test their knowledge. Asking
students to give their answers at the start of class will get them involved in the topic, and a delay in providing the correct
answers will help keep them curious. The questions can be made into PowerPoint slides or written on the board, and
answers can be tallied using a personal response device (clicker) system or a show of hands.
1. Of the 400–700 lymph nodes located along the larger lymphatic vessels, approximately half of these nodes are in
the abdomen. T/F
Answer: True
2. The tonsils are made up of muscle tissue. T/F
Answer: False. The tonsils are made up of lymphoid tissue.
3. Which type of immunity is passed from mother to child?
a. natural immunity
b. active immunity
c. acquired immunity
Answer: a. Natural immunity is present at birth or passed through breast milk to the baby.
4. Rubella, or German measles, originated in Germany. T/F
Answer: False. Rubella and measles have similar symptoms, so the term “German” comes from germanus,
meaning similar.

SPELLING BEE
This activity is a great way to make spelling practice more fun. Make a copy of the word list at the beginning of this
chapter in the textbook. The caller in a spelling bee usually begins with easier terms and progresses to harder ones, so
you will need to check off terms as you use them.
Divide the class into two teams lined up on either side of the classroom. Flip a coin to see which team will be Team
A.
Read a term and the definition of the term. Be sure to pronounce the words clearly and correctly.
The first learner in Team A repeats the word and spells it. If the spelling is correct, the learner goes to the end of the
line and the next word goes to the first learner in line in Team B.
If a spelling is incorrect, the learner is out and sits down. The first learner in line for the other team is then given a
chance to try the same word. This continues until someone gets the spelling of the term right.
The game is over when the list has been used up or when only one or two learners remain standing.
HER STORY
Sandra is a sophomore at Bay State University. About a year ago, she began having constant fatigue. She would nap
during her breaks between classes but still felt tired. She figured that her busy schedule was wearing her out. She was
taking five classes, holding down a work-study job, and playing on the school tennis team. She then developed a
persistent itchiness over her entire body 3 months after the exhaustion began, and she often woke up sweating at night.
Shortly afterward, Sandra noticed a small lump on her neck. She took to wearing turtleneck sweaters because she was
self-conscious about the lump. When the itch wouldn’t go away, she stopped pursuing a potential relationship for fear
that her new boyfriend would find it strange.
More concerned with the itch and the lump on her neck than her exhaustion, Sandra first went to see a dermatologist.
The dermatologist thought that Sandra had an infection, so she prescribed antibiotics and a topical corticosteroid. When
the itch failed to resolve, Sandra visited a nurse at the student health clinic. He was very concerned about a second lump
that had developed on her neck and immediately referred her to the oncology department at the university hospital.
THE EVALUATION
Sandra was very upset at being sent to an oncologist and brought her roommate along for support. I explained to them both
that I was going to perform an examination and run some lab tests so that we could find out what was making Sandra sick,
and help her get better. I ordered a full spectrum of blood tests and a CT scan of her chest, abdomen, and pelvis. I explained
that I might also need to request a biopsy of the lump on her neck.
THE DIAGNOSIS
My suspicions were confirmed when Sandra’s blood tests came back positive. She was shocked when I explained that
she had Stage IIA Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She had never imagined that her itchiness and the lump on her neck might be
symptoms of cancer.
THE TREATMENT
I treated Sandra with four cycles of chemotherapy. This was followed by a course of radiation. Her cancer reacted to
these treatments well. If she remains cancer free for 2 years, she will be considered to be in remission. Her hair did fall
out due to the chemo treatments, and she was disappointed not to be able to participate in athletic activities with her
friends. Her family and friends provided a support network that helped her get through this difficult period well.
CASE CLOSED
Twelve months after the chemotherapy, Sandra is finally able to return to her pre-cancer life. She is back in class and
has slowly begun to exercise again. Next fall, she hopes to rejoin the tennis team. Her hair has come back in full and
curly, and she reports a renewed high level of self-confidence.
Discussion Questions
1. What is Hodgkin’s lymphoma?
2. Why were the antibiotics not effective in controlling Sandra’s condition?
3. What is a corticosteroid drug, which is prescribed by the dermatologist for the itchiness?
4. Part of the examination of Sandra was to determine whether her cancer had metastasized. What does metastasize
mean?
SUBJECTIVE
Lump noted on breast self-examination
OBJECTIVE
43-year-old female
Family history of breast cancer
Lump noted in left breast during professional palpation of the breast
Mammogram shows small lump in one location of the breast
ASSESSMENT
Possible ductal carcinoma in situ
PLAN
Schedule ultrasound
Schedule needle breast biopsy and consult with oncologist if needed
Questions
1. Define mammography, and provide the word parts.
2. What is ductal carcinoma in situ?
3. Explain why Patricia Fung might need to meet with an oncologist based on the biopsy results.
PATHOLOGY REPORT
Gross Examination: Specimen A. “Right breast biopsy.” Received fresh is a 2.5 2.7 2.0 cm portion of fibroadipose
tissue with a localization wire and needle. A radiograph is received with the specimen that indicates “a nodule at the
location of the needle.” This tissue is sectioned to reveal a 0.8 0.6 0.4 cm white nodule with ill-defined borders. The
nodule is within the surgical margin.
Microscopic Examination: The lesion is an infiltrating ductal carcinoma with clear surgical margins.
Diagnosis: Infiltrating ductal carcinoma.
Maximal Tumor Diameter: 0.8 cm.
Discussion Questions
1. In the preoperative diagnosis, the doctor refers to the mass as being nonpalpable. What is palpation of the breast?
2. Since this tumor was too small to be detected with breast self-examination, the prognosis might have been
different if the patient had not had a routine mammogram. Give the word parts for the term mammography, and
define this procedure.
3. The patient is diagnosed as having infiltrating ductal carcinoma. How is this different from ductal carcinoma in
situ?
4. The procedure and purpose of this type of a needle breast biopsy and a sentinel-node biopsy are not the same.
What is a needle breast biopsy?
