Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stage I lymphoma is characterized by the involvement of a single lymph node region or a single extralymphatic organ or site. Since the client reports pain from unilateral (one-sided), swollen cervical lymph nodes, this indicates that only one lymph node region is involved, fitting the criteria for Stage I lymphoma.
