A 52-year-old client asks the nurse how she is to remember when to schedule her clinical breast examination. Which response by the nurse is most correct?
A) "The office staff can schedule your clinical breast examination twice a year."
B) "The diagnostic center will send you a reminder card to complete the annual examination."
C) "The clinical breast evaluation will be completed with annual gynecologic examination."
D) "You can complete the examination at home and report if you found anything abnormal."
C
Feedback:
A clinical breast examination is completed by a physician, nurse, or physician's assistant as part of the gynecologic examination, an annual examination, or before a mammogram. Unless there is an abnormality, a clinical breast examination does not need to be completed more than annually as the client is completing the monthly self-breast examinations. The examination is typically performed in the physician's office and not a diagnostic center unless the client happens to be also scheduled for a mammogram.
