A woman is considering breast reduction mammogram. When weighing the patients health risks, the nurse should confirm that the patient is aware that what factor?
- A. Chronic breast pain
- B. Unclear mammography results
- C. Increased risk of breast cancer
- D. Decreased nipple sensation
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Breast reduction mammoplasty may result in decreased nipple sensation due to nerve disruption. It does not increase cancer risk, affect mammography clarity, or cause chronic pain.

The nurse is teaching breast self-examination (BSE) to a group of women. The nurse should recommend that the patients perform BSE at what time?
- A. At the time of menses
- B. At any convenient time, regardless of cycles
- C. Weekly
- D. Between days 5 and 7 after menses
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: BSE is best performed on days 5 to 7 after menses, when breasts are least hormonal and tender, optimizing detection of abnormalities. Monthly, not weekly, performance is recommended, and timing relative to menses is important.
A nurse is teaching a group of women about the potential benefits of breast self-examination (BSE). The nurse should teach the patients that effective BSE is dependent on what factor?
- A. Womens knowledge of how their breasts normally look and feel
- B. The rapport that exists between the woman and her primary care provider
- C. Synchronizing womens routines around BSE with the performance of mammograms
- D. Womens knowledge of the pathophysiology of breast cancer
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Effective BSE relies on the patient's familiarity with her breasts' normal appearance and feel, enabling detection of changes. Rapport with providers, mammogram synchronization, or pathophysiology knowledge are not essential for BSE efficacy.
A nurse is explaining that each breast contains 12 to 20 cone-shaped lobes. The nurse should explain that each lobe consists of what elements?
- A. Modified tendons and ligaments
- B. Connective tissue and smooth muscle
- C. Lobules and ducts
- D. Endocrine glands and sebaceous glands
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Each breast lobe consists of lobules (milk-producing glands) and ducts (milk transport), which are the functional units of the breast. Tendons, ligaments, smooth muscle, or endocrine/sebaceous glands are not primary components.
A 60-year-old man presents at the patient complaining that his breasts are tender and enlarging. Patients are subsequently diagnosed with gynecomastia. The patient should be assessed for what causative factor?
- A. Age-related symptoms
- B. Medication adverse effects
- C. Poor nutrition
- D. Fluid overload
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Gynecomastia in older men is often caused by medications, such as diuretics or antipsychotics, which can disrupt hormonal balance. It is not an age-related change, nor is it linked to nutrition or fluid overload.
A patient is to undergo an ultrasound-guided core biopsy. The patient tells the nurse that a patient of hers had a stereotactic core needle biopsy. She wants to understand the difference between the procedures. What would be the nurses best response?
- A. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy is faster, less expensive, and does not use radiation.
- B. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy is a little more expensive, but it doesnt use radiation and it is faster.
- C. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy is a little more expensive, and it also uses radiation but it is faster.
- D. An ultrasound-guided core biopsy takes more time, and it also uses radiation, but it is less expensive.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ultrasound-guided core biopsy is faster, less expensive, and radiation-free compared to stereotactic biopsy, which uses X-rays for guidance, making it a preferred option when ultrasound is suitable.
