A nurse is teaching a group of women about the potential benefits of breast self-examination (BSE). The nurse should teach the women that effective BSE is dependent on what factor?
A) Women's knowledge of how their breasts normally look and feel
B) The rapport that exists between the woman and her primary care provider
C) Synchronizing women's routines around BSE with the performance of mammograms
D) Women's knowledge of the pathophysiology of breast cancer
Ans: A
Feedback:
Current practice emphasizes the importance of breast self-awareness, which is a woman's attentiveness to the normal appearance and feel of her breasts. BSE does not need to be synchronized with the performance of mammograms. Rapport between the patient and the care provider is beneficial, but does not necessarily determine the effectiveness of BSE. The woman does not need to understand the pathophysiology of breast cancer to perform BSE effectively.
