Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Placebos have been shown to have some efficacy in the control of pain. However, because they involve deception they are usually considered unethical. In most circumstances, this fact overrides their possible efficacy. When a client is informed that a pill is a placebo, it loses the essential characteristic of a placebo.

Answer to Question 2

B
The primary treatment modality is surgical removal of the affected portion of breast (lumpectomy) or simple, modified mastectomy (breast tissue, nearby lymph nodes are removed, but the muscles of the chest wall are intact), or radical mastectomy (total removal). Depending on the amount of breast tissue removed, reconstructive breast surgery can be performed at a later time.
