Question 2 of 5
You are assigned to evaluate the outcome of fecal occult blood test as a screening test for patients with bowel cancer. The total number of patients who underwent the test is 2030; in those whom the disease is confirmed are 30. The results of fecal occult blood test are as follows: in 20 patients who has a confirmed bowel cancer (truly positive), and in 180 patients who don't have the disease (falsely positive); in 10 patients who truly has the disease (falsely negative), and in 1820 patients who are not affected by the disease (truly negative). All the following statements are true EXCEPT
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Prevalence = (Total cases / Total population) * 100 = (30 / 2030) * 100 ≈ 1.48%. This statement is correct, so it is the exception as the question asks for the incorrect statement.

Question 4 of 5
During a breast examination, which finding most strongly suggests that the client has breast cancer?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A fixed nodular mass with dimpling of the overlying skin is the finding that most strongly suggests breast cancer. This presentation is concerning for an invasive carcinoma that has invaded into the surrounding tissues, leading to the dimpling of the skin. Breast cancer typically presents as a painless, hard, irregularly shaped, non-mobile mass. Dimpling of the skin overlying the mass is a sign of advanced disease and is often associated with a poor prognosis. Therefore, this finding should raise suspicion for breast cancer and prompt further evaluation and workup.
