Question Tag: Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Question Category: Physiological Integrity
A 21-year-old male with Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a senior at the local university.
He is engaged to be married and is to begin a new job upon graduation. Which
of the following diagnoses would be a priority for this client?
A. Sexual dysfunction related to radiation therapy
B. Anticipatory grieving related to terminal illness
C. Tissue integrity related to prolonged bed rest
D. Fatigue related to chemotherapy
Correct Answer: A. Sexual dysfunction related to radiation therapy
Radiation therapy often causes sterility in male clients and would be of primary
importance to this client. The psychosocial needs of the client are important to
address in light of the age and life choices. Hodgkin’s disease, however, has a
good prognosis when diagnosed early. Know the importance of sex to individual,
partner, and patient’s motivation for change. Because lymphomas often affect the
relatively young who are in their productive years, these people may be affected
more by these problems and may be less knowledgeable about the possibilities
of change.
Option B: Grieving may not be an appropriate diagnosis since the
client would be experiencing new milestones in his life despite his
condition. Let the patient describe the problem in their own words.
