A 20-year-old patient is being seen at the health care provider's office for an annual physical examination
During the data collection period, the patient indicates she does not believe she is old enough to be concerned about performing breast self-examination (BSE). What information should the nurse provide? 1. The BSE is not necessary if the patient has an annual gynecological examination that includes a medical breast examination.
2. Women should begin to perform a monthly BSE by the age of 20.
3. If there is no family history of breast cancer, the patient does not yet need to begin performing BSE.
4. The BSE should become a regular part of a woman's monthly regimen beginning at age 30.

Rationale 1: The annual gynecological examination likely includes a breast examination, but the exam should be performed more frequently.
Rationale 2: The BSE should be performed monthly by all women. Age 20 is a recommended starting point.
Rationale 3: Not all breast cancer has been linked to genetic factors. Family history is an inadequate means for determining the need to perform BSE.
Rationale 4: The BSE should be performed monthly by all women. Age 20 is a recommended starting point.
