Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The client should undergo radiography in order to visualize the lungs. Radionuclide imaging is used to visualize areas within organs and tissues that are not possible with a standard x-ray. Endoscopy is used for the visual examination of internal structures in the human body. Ultrasonography is a form of soft tissue examination that uses sound waves in ranges beyond human hearing.

D
Feedback:
In November 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force made the controversial recommendation that teaching BSE is unnecessary because there is no net benefit.
