Answer to Question 1

D
The best time for a BSE is seven days from the start of the menstrual period, when the breast is no longer swollen or tender from hormone elevations.
The woman should check her breasts the same time each month, seven days after the start of the menstrual cycle.
It is partially true that the client should perform BSE at the same time each month. The client should also be informed to perform the BSE seven days after the menstrual period begins.
Seven days before the menstrual cycle is not the best time for a woman to perform a BSE. The breasts will be enlarged and tender from hormone elevations.

Answer to Question 2

C
Secondary care involves the provision of a specialized medical service by a physician specialist or a hospital, or referral from a primary care practitioner. Secondary care settings include hospitals and the home.
Physician's offices and nurse-managed clinics are settings for primary care.
Schools and occupational settings are settings for primary care.
Regional hospitals or provincial health centres that provide specialist expertise are settings for tertiary care.
