Multiple Choice
While performing a self-breast exam, the patient notes an area on the right breast that is nodular, with some associated tenderness. This is a new onset finding because the exams were not problematic in the past. The left breast examination is unremarkable. The patient calls to report her findings to the clinical nurse because this is not her typical result. What action should the nurse perform next?
A) Refer the patient to an oncologist because the results are suspicious.
B) Ask the patient to come in for an office visit so that the findings can be validated but tell her that this information is within the normal range of presentation.
C) Have the patient wear a tight-fitting bra and tell her that the tenderness is associated with ovulation and will pass.
D) Have the patient repeat the self-breast exam in 2 weeks and call back with findings to provide a basis for comparison.
