"It is common for one breast to be larger than the other.”.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

Performing breast exams on the first day of the menstrual cycle is not recommended because hormonal fluctuations can affect breast tissue.

Choice B rationale

Breast self-examinations should be performed monthly, not every other month, to detect any changes in breast tissue.

Choice C rationale

Skin dimpling on the breast can be a sign of breast cancer and should not be considered common. It requires medical evaluation.

Choice D rationale

It is normal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other, and this variation is common among women.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Obtaining blood pressure readings using the client's right arm can increase the risk of lymphedema in the affected arm.

Choice B rationale

Keeping both arms below the level of the client's heart can hinder proper lymphatic drainage and contribute to lymphedema.

Choice C rationale

Limiting range-of-motion exercises with the affected arm can cause stiffness and impede lymphatic flow, increasing the risk of lymphedema.

Choice D rationale

Using the client's left arm to obtain blood samples helps prevent unnecessary trauma to the right arm, reducing the risk of lymphedema.

A. Administer a broad-spectrum antibiotic. B. Isolate for 24 hr after lesions appear. C. Avoid direct contact. D. Place on airborne precautions.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Administering a broad-spectrum antibiotic is not appropriate for tinea corporis, which is a fungal infection. Antifungal medications are needed.

Choice B rationale

Isolating the client for 24 hours after lesions appear is not necessary, as tinea corporis is not a severe infection requiring isolation.

Choice C rationale

Avoiding direct contact is essential to prevent the spread of the fungal infection.

Choice D rationale

Placing the client on airborne precautions is not needed for tinea corporis, as it is not an airborne infection.
