Answer to Question 1

__________ drops per minute

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: The nurse assesses the client with fibrocystic breast disorder for worsening of symptoms (breast lumps, painful breasts, and possible nipple discharge) before the onset of menses. This is associated with cyclical hormone changes. Therefore after menses, during menses, and at any time, regardless of the menstrual cycle are incorrect.
