  a. Don't worry about it. I'm sure it's nothing.
  b. Wear a tight bra, and it should shrink.
  c. Many women have benign lumps and bumps in their breasts. However, to make sure that it's benign, you should come in for an examination by your physician.
  d. Check it again in 1 month and call me back if it's still there.

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.

There used to be a metric calendar, as well as metric clocks. The metric calendar, or "French Republican Calendar" divided the year into 12 months, but each month was divided into three 10-day weeks. Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
