Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Duct ectasia is manifested by nipple discharge, which can be green, brown, straw-colored, red, gray, or cream-colored and the consistency of toothpaste. Subareolar redness and swelling can be noted, along with tortuous tubular swellings beneath the areola. Fibrocystic breast disorder is characterized by lumpy, tender breasts with possible clear to yellow nipple discharge. Intraductal papilloma is manifested by a wart-like growth in the mammary ducts near the nipple that is soft, nontender, mobile, and poorly delineated. A serous, serosanguinous, or watery discharge from the nipple may occur. Fibroadenoma is characterized by a firm, rubbery, well-circumscribed, freely mobile mass, usually located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast.

Answer to Question 2

D
Response:
Chemotherapy typically causes side effects of nausea, vomiting, hair loss, fatigue, and myelosuppression. Of these, myelosuppression would be the most serious because it increases the risk for infection, bleeding, and a reduced red blood cell count, which can lead to anemia.
