Survivorship Care and Long-Term Monitoring · NCLEX Exam

Why is the concept of ‘late effect’ important in survivorship care?

  1. Because all treatment effects appear immediately after therapy
  2. Late effects can appear years later and may be prevented or reduced if monitored
  3. Because late effects reliably resolve on their own without care
  4. Because late effects are irrelevant to survivors who are disease-free
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Late effects can appear years later and may be prevented or reduced if monitored

Long-term monitoring is needed because some treatment-related effects occur later, so vigilance is required.
