A 27-year-old female client is undergoing evaluation of lumps in her breasts
In determining whether the client could have fibrocystic breast disorder, the nurse should ask the client whether the breast lumps seem to become more prominent or troublesome at which of the following times? 1. After menses
2. Before menses
3. During menses
4. At any time, regardless of the menstrual cycle
2
Rationale: The nurse assesses the client with fibrocystic breast disorder for worsening of symptoms (breast lumps, painful breasts, and possible nipple discharge) before the onset of menses. This is associated with cyclical hormone changes. Therefore "after menses," "during menses," and "at any time, regardless of the menstrual cycle" are incorrect.
