Question 1 of 5

Two months after a right mastectomy for breast cancer, a client comes to the office for a follow-up appointment. After being diagnosed with cancer in the right breast, the client was told that the risk for cancer in the left breast existed. When asked about her breast self-examination (BSE) practices since the surgery, the client replied, 'I don't need to do that anymore.' The nurse interprets this response to be using which coping mechanism?
