The newly diagnosed client with breast cancer asks the nurse if they diagnosed the cancer too late, since the surgeon recommended surgery and radiation therapy. The appropriate response by the nurse would be:
 
  1. Chemotherapy is only used in the first stage.
  2. Surgery and radiation are recommended in the later stages of breast cancer.
  3. Surgery and radiation are recommended in cancer that has not metastasized.
  4. You need to discuss that with your doctor.

Question 2

The nurse should instruct the lactating mother with mastitis about preventing future episodes by:
 
  1. thoroughly emptying both breasts to prevent engorgement.
  2. not breastfeeding the infant at night.
  3. alternating breasts every 2 minutes during each feeding.
  4. feeding the infant from only one breast during each feeding.
