Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse correctly informs the client that the breast self-examination (BSE) technique involves palpating each breast moving in small concentric circles, following imaginary spokes in a wheel, or moving in rows from superior to inferior stress of the breast. Besides the breast, which other body area is essential to palpate?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The axillae (armpits) contain lymph nodes that drain the breast, and palpating this area is essential to detect any abnormal lymph node enlargement, which could indicate breast pathology.
Question 2 of 5
The female client diagnosed with human papillomavirus (HPV) asks the nurse, 'What other problems can HPV lead to?' Which statement is the most appropriate response by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: HPV is a major cause of cervical cancer, a critical complication to highlight. Transmission mode is irrelevant, ovarian issues are unrelated, and Pap smears detect, not prevent, issues.
