Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4
Visual inspection of the breast self-examination focuses on the contour and symmetry of the breasts; skin changes such as scaling, puckering, dimpling, or scars; the position of the nipples; nipple discharge or retraction; and presence or absence of masses. This part of the examination does not include pain or size of the breasts.

Answer to Question 2

When collecting a 24-hour urine specimen from a client with an indwelling catheter, the nurse should place the catheter bag on ice and empty regularly into the collection bottle which is also to be kept on ice. The other choices are incorrect and could cause inaccurate test results.
