Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The upper outer quadrant is the location of most of the glandular tissue of the breast.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although all the patients have needs that the nurse should address, the patient who is receiving a cardiotoxic medication and has symptoms of heart failure should be assessed by the nurse first. BRCA testing may be appropriate for the 21-year-old, but it does not need to be done immediately. Chest and arm pain are normal up to 3 months after mastectomy. Nipple discharge and itching is a common finding with ductal ectasia.
