Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback
A Discrediting the patient's findings may discourage her from continuing with breast self-examination.
B Wearing a tight bra may irritate the skin and will not cause the lump to shrink.
C Try to ease the patient's fear, but provide a time for a thorough evaluation of the lump because it may indicate abnormal changes in the breast.
D Delaying treatment may allow proliferation of abnormal cells.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale:
1. Encouraging oral fluids is not a priority.
2. Administration of medications to treat the disease is priority.
3. Bedrest is not a priority.
4. Removal of the IUD is not a nursing intervention.
