B) "A benign tumor is the result of infection and requires regular medication."
C) "A benign tumor is the result of imbalanced metabolism and recurs gradually."
D) "A benign tumor is the result of occupational factors and may undergo metastasis."
A
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the client that a benign tumor is the result of growth of cells and, once removed, it usually does not recur. Benign tumors are not the result of infection, an imbalanced metabolism, or occupational factors.
