Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Generally occurring in women approaching menopause, ductal ectasia results in a firm irregular mass in the breast, enlarged axillary nodes, and nipple discharge. Fibroadenoma is evidenced by fibrous and glandular tissues. They are felt as firm, rubbery, and freely mobile nodules. Intraductal papillomas develop in the epithelium of the ducts of the breasts; as the mass grows, it causes trauma or erosion within the ducts. Chronic cystic disease causes pain and tenderness. The cysts that form are multiple, smooth, and well delineated.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Symptom charting for at least 3 months is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis of PMS. Suggesting lack of sympathy from men is an inaccurate statement and will not help the client with the present problem. Reminding the physician of the symptoms will not assist in making a diagnosis. Listing symptoms for 3 months will help the physician make the diagnosis better. The client should not treat herself with over-the-counter medications.
