A Patient Contacts the Clinic and Tells the Nurse That

A patient contacts the clinic and tells the nurse that she is worried that her 10-year-old daughter may have breast cancer.She describes a unilateral enlargement of the right breast with associated tenderness.Which of the following would be the nurse's best response?

A) Tell the mother that breast development is usually fairly symmetrical,so the daughter should be examined right away.
B) Tell the mother that she should bring her daughter in right away because breast cancer is fairly common in preadolescent girls.
C) Tell the mother that a clinical examination of her daughter would help rule out her suspicions,but it is most likely that the condition is due to normal breast development.
D) Tell the mother that it is unusual for newly developing breasts to feel tender because at this stage they would not have developed much fibrous tissue.
