Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Trauma to the anterior chest area may result in a palpable breast mass. An automobile accident with injury from contact with the seat belt, air bag, steering wheel, or dashboard is a common source of breast trauma. When a palpable mass results from chest trauma, it typically represents either a hematoma or area of secondary fat necrosis. Even when a mass is identified subsequent to direct trauma, the provider must remain suspicious for the possibility of malignancy that preexisted but was undetected before the accident.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The Gail model is a clinical prediction rule used to estimate a patient's risk for breast cancer. The model identifies the relative risk associated with three factors obtained through history: age at menarche, number of previous breast biopsies, and the age at first live birth.
