Question

A client with cancer has developed bone metastasis and is experiencing a rapid decline in bone density. What is an implication of this process?

a. The client's metastases will ultimately cause cell dystrophy in the kidneys and liver.
b. The client's affected cells may release intracellular toxins that were previously sequestered.
c. The client's loss of bone tissue causes a massive release of free radicals.
d. The client is prone to calcification in the lungs, renal tubules, and blood vessels.

Answer 1

d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that an implication of this process is that the client is prone to calcification in the lungs, renal tubules, and blood vessels. This is due to the fact that bone metastasis cause calcium to leak from the bones into the bloodstream, which can travel to the lungs, renal tubes, and all through the client's blood vessels.
