Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

While wearing a supportive bra is generally advisable, wearing it 24 hours a day is not necessary and may cause discomfort.

Choice B rationale:

Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can affect breast tissue, and examining the breasts when they are less likely to be affected by hormonal fluctuations can provide a more accurate baseline for self-examination.

Choice C rationale:

Mammograms are recommended more frequently than every 4 years, especially for those with fibrocystic breast condition or other risk factors.

Choice D rationale:

Increasing caffeine intake can exacerbate symptoms of fibrocystic breast condition. Caffeine is known to contribute to breast pain and tenderness.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Epinephrine auto-injectors should be stored at room temperature and protected from light. Refrigeration is not recommended.

Choice B rationale:

The solution in an epinephrine auto-injector should be clear. If it appears discolored or contains particles, it may be expired or compromised.

Choice C rationale:

Epinephrine auto-injectors should not be shaken before use, as shaking could cause the solution to foam and result in inaccurate dosing.

Choice D rationale:

Holding the epinephrine auto-injector in place for 10 seconds allows the medication to be fully delivered into the muscle, enhancing its effectiveness.
