A 26-year-old client is diagnosed with an astrocytoma, a benign brain tumor. From the nurse's knowledge of the central nervous system, the nurse knows that benign tumors:

  1. Can be just as dangerous as malignant tumors
  2. Grow more rapidly than malignant tumors
  3. Do not warrant concern because they do not become malignant tumors
  4. Can be removed surgically

Explanation:

(A) Both a benign and a malignant tumor can displace or destroy nearby structures or increase intracranial pressure. (B) Benign or malignant brain tumors grow at different rates depending on the type of tumor. (C) Some benign tumors do become malignant tumors. (D) Whether or not a tumor is operable depends on its location and the amount of damage its removal will cause.
