Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a community education program on preventive health care for women. What common screening test will the nurse plan on explaining to the women attending the program?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Mammography is a screening test used to detect breast cancer. A breast examination is a focused assessment, not a test. A breast self-examination is important, but not a screening test. A breast biopsy is a diagnostic test versus a test performed for basic screening purposes.

Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The best time for BSE is 1 week after the beginning of the menstrual period.
