Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Lump, hard knot, or thickening inside the breast or underarm area is warning sign of breast cancer. Mammograms are recommended every year for women over 50 years of age. Each woman knows her own body better than a home health nurse does.

Answer to Question 2

A
When a colostomy is performed, the patient or significant other should be able to verbalize and demonstrate understanding of ostomy care to the nurse.
