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.

Question 2

A young female client comes into the emergency department with vague physical symptoms and does not make eye contact with the nurse during the interview. In order to best assess the client, the nurse asks:

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