Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
There is no direct link between fibrocystic disease and the incidence of cancer. The disease is not a form of cancer, and the remaining two choices do not address the client's concerns.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
Inspection, palpation, and the client interview are necessary for a complete assessment of the breasts. Percussion and auscultation are not assessment techniques used on breast tissue.
