Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client frequently finds lumps in her breasts, especially around her menstrual period. Which information should the nurse teach the client regarding breast self-care?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Lumps around the menstrual period are often fibrocystic changes, a benign condition. Teaching monthly breast self-examination empowers monitoring for changes. Assuming benignity without follow-up is unsafe, dietary changes are secondary, and suggesting surgery is premature.

Rationale: ACS recommends PSA and DRE starting at age 50 for average-risk men. Earlier screening, sonograms, or biopsies are not standard unless indicated.
