The nurse is providing education regarding early detection of breast cancer to a group of women between the ages of 30 and 40. According to recommendations from the American Cancer Society, the nurse explains that it is important for these women to:
 
  1. Do monthly breast self-exams.
  2. Have a yearly mammogram.
  3. See a physician if there is a strong family history of breast cancer.
  4. Have an annual breast exam performed by a health care provider.

  2. what kind of problems are you having?
  3. is someone hurting you?
  4. can you explain what your family life is like?
