How this high-yield guide is organized and the exam mindset: life threats, then infection/bleeding, then teaching.

Define stressors, adaptive vs maladaptive responses, and stressor types by category and duration.

Alarm, resistance, and exhaustion plus local adaptation syndrome and chronic-stress pitfalls.

Fast epinephrine/norepinephrine fight-or-flight versus slow cortisol HPA response.

Primary/secondary appraisal, emotion- vs problem-focused coping, resilience, and Chart 5-1 clues.

Key nursing diagnoses, interventions, and the CALM CARE mnemonic.

Metastasis, staging/grading, myelosuppression, nadir, neutropenia, vesicant, extravasation, mucositis.

Recognize vesicant leak signs and stop-first management with protocol and antidote kit.

Nadir timing, neutropenic precautions, thrombocytopenia actions, and the priority triad.

Cardiotoxicity, vesicant risk, red urine teaching, and mild stomatitis care cluster.

Radiodermatitis timeline, field effects, and Time–Distance–Shielding for internal radiation.

Leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma infection-bleeding focus, mediastinal mass, and hyperviscosity alerts.

Mammogram age bands, Healthy People role, self-awareness over routine BSE, lifestyle risk reduction.

Three visual positions, tactile patterns, three pressures, and full axilla/clavicle coverage.

Monthly post-shower TSE technique, pea-lump red flag, markers, and shared-decision PSA/DRE.

GAS stage, coping type, TSE teach-back, extravasation/fever traps, and emotion-focused myth.

Final high-yield pass across stress, chemo safety, radiation, self-exam, and priority lens.
