Answer: Throbbing, Sharp, Aching, Cramping, Tingling, Crawling

Explanation: Adenocarcinomas are types of cancers that start in mucus producing glands. The pancreas produces hormones and enzymes that help to digest food. About 85% of pancreatic cancers are caused by adenocarcinoma. These tumors starts in the ducts of the pancreas.

Pain is a symptom that can't be ruled out when we are talking about adenocarcinoma. The pain is usually as a result of the tumors pressing on the bones, nerves or other organs in the body. Since the pancreas is a soft tissue, damage to it may cause "throbbing", "sharp" or "cramping" pains. The tumor may also produce chemicals which may damage the nerves and cause "burning", "tingling", "crawling" pains. The tumorcould also press on the nerves causing tingling and burning pains.

Also, the pain could be as a result of nerve changes due to chemotherapy treatment. In this case, the pain descriptors could be "numbing" or "tingling". The pain at the site of injection could be referred to as "burning" as a result of the burning sensation one may feel.

Suppose a beaker of solid reagent drops onto the bench and cracks. Which of the following represents the correct disposal: Selec
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

b. To the extent possible, solid reagent should be added to the solid waste container and broken glass should be added to the glass waste. Hazardous materials should never be added to the glass waste, and broken glass should only be allowed in the solid waste with the TA's approval.

Explanation:

All reagents, waste, equipment, and packaging used in a laboratory should be disposed of safely and appropriately to avoid environmental contamination and to avoid an accident if improperly disposed of. In a laboratory each type of reagent, waste, packaging, and equipment must be properly disposed of and specific to each. Therefore, we can conclude that if a solid reagent beaker falls off a laboratory bench and cracks, the correct thing to do is to take the solid reagent as much as possible and add it to the solid waste container and broken glass to glass waste. Hazardous materials should never be added to glass waste, and broken glass should only be allowed on solid waste with AT approval.
