Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Discharge from the nipples requires further examination from a health care provider. I should check my breasts at the same time each month, like after my period, I should also feel in my armpit area while performing my breast examination, and I should check each breast in a set way, such as in a circular motion all indicate successful learning.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The patient may have multiple injuries in various stages of healing that indicates a pattern of violence. An argument is not always an indication of battering. A fractured arm and fresh bruises could be caused by the reported fall and doesn't necessarily indicate IPV. . It is normal for the woman to have a flat affect.
