Breast Cancer Case Study (Case Study answers are located in the Answer Key at the end of the book.)[1]
Sarah Smith, a 45-year-old female, presents to the clinic with a chief complaint of discovering a lump in her left breast during self-examination. She reports no associated pain and has no other significant medical history. She has a family history of breast cancer, with her mother diagnosed at age 55. Physical examination reveals a palpable mass in the upper outer quadrant of the left breast. A mammogram and ultrasound are ordered for further evaluation.
- As a nurse caring for Sarah, how would you approach providing emotional support and addressing her concerns related to her family history of breast cancer?
- What nursing interventions would you prioritize to assist Sarah in coping with the anxiety and uncertainty surrounding her breast cancer diagnosis and the upcoming diagnostic procedures?
