Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Teaching the male client to do monthly breast self-examinations is as important as it is for the female client. Breast cancer in the male is usually identified as a hard nodule fixed to the nipple and underlying tissue and is best detected by palpation. Normally, the male breast feels like a thin disc of tissue under a flat nipple and areola. Pain may or may not be present. Since the most common area for nodules to occur in the male breast is near the nipple, other signs like dimpling, asymmetry, peau d'orange, and areolar color changes may not be as noticeable.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Symptom management includes such things as pharmacological hormones, diuretics, limiting caffeine, wearing a supportive bra, and decreasing salt intake, as these may help relieve symptoms of breast pain and tenderness, especially in the premenstrual period.
