ATI Medical Surgical Nursing, Care of Patients with Breast Disorders
Document Content and Description Below
A client recently had a mammogram. Which statement by the client indicates a need for clarification regarding the importance or purpose of this procedure? a. “Now that I have had a mammogram, my... risk for getting breast cancer is reduced.” b. “I will still do a breast self-examination monthly even after the mammogram.” c. “Yearly mammograms can reduce my risk of dying from breast cancer.” d. “The amount of radiation exposure from a mammogram is very low.” ANS: A Regular or yearly mammography does not decrease the incidence of breast cancer. It only assists in early detection and diagnosis and decreases the mortality rate from breast cancer. The client should be instructed that the mammogram uses a very small amount of radiation in the test, and that consistent scheduling of a mammogram, along with a breast self-examination performed at least monthly, can reduce the client’s risk of dying from breast cancer.
