Question

While caring for a female client, the nursing student feels tenderness and a lump in the client's breast. the nursing student tells the registered nurse, "i think this client has breast cancer." which statements of the registered nurse would be appropriate in accordance with the knowing element of swanson's theory?

Answer 1

Avoid making assumptions, assess the client thoroughly, check for other signs of breast cancer. 

Answer 2

Answer: According to Swanson's theory the nurse must look further for more symptoms associated with breast cancer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Only tenderness in the breast cannot be the reason to say that it is breast cancer. The nurse will say that other symptoms should also be considered in order to confirm that it is breast cancer.

Some other tests can also be helpful in determining whether tenderness in breast is related to breast cancer or not.
