What does the medical term "neoplasm" generally refer to?

  1. Fat

  2. "New growth" generally refers to a cancerous tumor

  3. Mind

  4. Refers to regularity of heartbeat

The correct answer is: "New growth" generally refers to a cancerous tumor

The correct answer is B. "New growth" generally refers to a cancerous tumor. The medical term "neoplasm" is commonly used to describe an abnormal mass of tissue, which can be benign or malignant. It is important for medication aides to understand this term as they may come across medications used in the treatment of neoplasms when caring for patients with cancer. Choice A, fat, is incorrect as the term "neoplasm" does not specifically refer to fat tissue. Choice C, mind, and choice D, referring to the regularity of heartbeat, are also incorrect as they do not accurately represent the meaning of the term "neoplasm."
