patient being screened for breast cancer, the nurse would assess it as a potential risk factor to the disease?quizlet

Answer :

Evaluate the patient's reaction to the breast cancer diagnosis. The first stage in planning patient treatment is assessment.

Because the nurse is the patient's advocate and this is a very stressful moment for the patient and family, while planning treatment for this patient, the nurse should focus on the patient's reaction to the breast cancer diagnosis.

This examination will guide the way to caring for the left arm and educate the patient about additional therapy.

Women aged 40 to 44 should be able to begin annual breast cancer screening with mammograms (breast x-rays) if they so desire. Mammograms should be performed on women aged 45 to 54 once a year. Women over the age of 55 should have mammograms every two years instead of yearly.
