Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A) Correct
B) Seriously ill patients are not sent to a consultant.
C) Seriously ill patients are not sent to a hospice.
D) Seriously ill patients are not sent a long-term care facility.

Answer to Question 2

A breast biopsy can be done in one of several different ways:
1. A fine-needle aspiration, which uses a very small gauge needle to aspirate the mass.
2. A vacuum-assisted biopsy, which uses a probe with a cutting device.
3. A surgical incisional biopsy, which is an incision into the tumor with subsequent removal of some, but not all, of the tissue.
4. A surgical excisional biopsy, in which the entire mass is removed.
5. A stereotactic biopsy, which uses three different angles of mammography to precisely locate the mass.
