Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client should undergo radiography in order to visualize the lungs. Radionuclide imaging is used to visualize areas within organs and tissues that are not possible with a standard x-ray. Endoscopy is used for the visual examination of internal structures in the human body. Ultrasonography is a form of soft tissue examination that uses sound waves in ranges beyond human hearing.

In November 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force made the controversial recommendation that teaching BSE is unnecessary because there is no net benefit.
