Answer to Question 1

Mastalgia refers to breast pain. Pain is not generally associated with breast cancer. Wearing a well-fitting supportive brassiere during exercise and decreasing the intake of caffeine would be beneficial. The client does not need an immediate mammogram, a biopsy, or breast augmentation.
