Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
In the documentation of a breast mass, skin changes such as dimpling (peau d'orange), nipple retraction, and whether the mass is fixed or movable are charted. The location of the mass should be stated by the face of a clock. Dense breast tissue and nontender axillary nodes are not abnormal assessment findings that may indicate breast cancer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Guidelines recommend a screening annual mammogram for women ages 40 years and older, breast self-awareness, and a clinical breast examination. An MRI is recommended if there are known high risk factors. A breast ultrasound is used if there are problems discovered with the initial screening or dense breast tissue.
