Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Research indicates that a high-fat diet may increase a woman's risk of developing breast cancer as well as alcohol intake in excess of nine drinks per week. Exposure to chemicals and cigarette smoke would place the client at risk for developing lung-related cancers or disease, and unprotected sexual contact increases risk for STDs, HIV, as well as cervical cancer.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Dimpling of the skin over a mass is usually a visible sign of breast cancer. Dimpling is accentuated with the client's arms over the head. Paget's disease is a rare type of breast cancer typified by a red, scaly, eczema-like area over the nipple and, like nipple retraction, does not have to be visualized with the arms over the head. Masses are rarely visible with inspection.
