Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is newly diagnosed with breast cancer. The client asks the nurse, 'What is the difference between benign and malignant tumors?' Which of the following statements should the nurse include in her response to the client?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Benign tumors do not spread into or invade nearby tissues. Benign tumors are non-cancerous growths that do not infiltrate surrounding tissues or organs. They tend to grow slowly and are typically not life-threatening. On the other hand, malignant tumors, or cancerous tumors, have the ability to invade nearby tissues and spread to other parts of the body, a process known as metastasis. This distinction is crucial in understanding the potential severity and treatment approach for different types of tumors.
Choice A is incorrect because malignant tumors do have the ability to invade nearby tissues.
Choice C is incorrect as benign tumors do not spread or invade nearby tissues.
Choice D is incorrect as there are significant differences between benign and malignant tumors.
