A young woman asks the nurse about breast augmentation surgery. An appropriate response by the nurse would be:
 
  1. It is a very common surgery, and the technique has been perfected.
  2. There is no evidence of implants causing cancer, but the implants do make detection of cancer more difficult.
  3. It has been proven that women who have breast augmentation are at greater risk for breast cancer.
  4. You might want to think about it, because the scar tissue distorts the breasts.

Question 2

  1. Stop smoking while taking this medication.
  2. This medication will cause chills; dress warmly.
  3. Take before meals with orange juice.
  4. Maintain a 1500-calorie diet; this medication causes weight loss.
