Answer to Question 1

B
Breast assessment should include inspecting the breast for size and symmetry. It is common to have a slight difference in the size of the breasts. The skin should be smooth and even in color; there should be symmetrical shape and color of the nipples and areolae with no discharge present.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clients' cultural backgrounds influence the way they interact with others and with their environment. Each cultural group has a body of knowledge and beliefs about health and disease, and cultural practices can have a positive or negative impact on the health of group members.
