Question 1 of 5

A client is admitted with shortness of breath and hemoptysis. After several tests, the healthcare provider informs the client that the medical diagnosis is stage 4 breast cancer.

A. Notify the health department of the client's condition. B. Advise the client to weigh all possible outcomes prior to the decision. C. Suggest to the family the value of genetic screening. D. Explain that the family has a right to know of potential health problems.

Correct Answer: B
