Answer to Question 1

2
1. Incorrect. The nurse should be respectful of the patient's feelings and acknowledge any anxiety. Additionally, without proper assessment, the nurse does not know if the patient is performing a BSE correctly.
2. Correct. During the physical assessment and evaluation, the responsibility for self-care, health promotion, and enhancement of wellness is emphasized. The nurse provides opportu-nity for the woman to ask questions and provides teaching when applicable. The nurse should provide feedback for good self-care practiced by the woman.
3. Incorrect. Although this demonstrates empathy, the nurse is neglecting the opportunity to provide teaching of self-care behaviors.
4. Incorrect. This statement is inaccurate. The BSE should be performed 5 to 7 days after menses has ended.

A
