Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Malignant lesions are hard, nontender, and usually located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast and would be the priority for further diagnostic study. The other lesions are benign breast disorders. The tender moveable masses throughout the breast tissue could be a fibrocystic breast condition. A firm, defined mobile mass in the lower quadrant of the breast is a fibroadenoma, and a painful mass under warm reddened skin could be a local abscess or ductal ectasia.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
All of the options would be comfort measures for a client with a fibrocystic breast condition. The UAP can obtain the cold or heat therapy. Only the nurse should aid the health care provider with a needle aspiration, teach, and administer medications.
