    The document provides guidelines for breast cancer screening and early detection. It recommends that women ages 40-54 undergo annual mammography screening, while women 55 and older can transition to biennial screening or continue annual screening. It also discusses appropriate nursing interventions for a 48-year-old man diagnosed with metastatic spinal cancer, including pain management, maintaining mobility, and preventing complications. Finally, it outlines safety precautions for a 65-year-old patient discharged on home oxygen therapy for metastatic lung cancer, such as handling oxygen correctly to prevent fires and burns.

    Study Questions:

    1. Summarize the guidelines for the early detection of breast cancerby developinga
    teaching plan for breast self-examination for patients.

     Women that ages 40 to 54 years old


     Mammography
     Women should undergo regular screening mammography
    starting at 45 years of age; women 45 to 54 years of age
    should be screened annually; women should have the
    opportunity to begin annual screening between 40 to 44
    years of age.
     Women that ages 55 years old and above
     Mamography
     Women 55 years or older should be transition to biennial
    screening or have the opportunity to continue screening
    annually; women should continue screening mammography
    as long as their overall health is good and they have a life
    expectancy of 10 years or more

    2. A 48-year-old man is married with two young children and has been newly
    diagnosed with ametastatic spinal cord tumor. Identify appropriate nursing
    interventions to alleviate the patient’s and family’s physiologic and emotional
    stressors.

     Treatment goals for a patient with bone metastasis include pain control,
    maintenance or restoration of mobility, and prevention of complications
    including pathologic fracture, SCC, and hypercalcemia. The interventions
    used to meet these goals include medications (analgesics, bone-modifying
    agents, hormones, and chemotheraphy), radiation therapy, and surgery

    3. Oxygen therapy is required for a 65-year-old patient with terminal lung metastatic


    cancer.Discuss teaching and safety precautions indicated for thepatient and his or
    her family. Describe the patient teaching that will be required for the patients who
    will be discharged from the hospital with a prescription for oxygen therapy.

     Treatment
     The type of treatment that you receive depends on several factors,
    including the type of lung cancer that you have. Treatment may be
    used to reduce the size of a tumor, prevent the cancer from
    spreading or cure the cancer. If the cancer cannot be cured,
    treatments may be used to reduce the symptoms and prolong life
     Oxygen and safety precaution
     Oxygen is a safe, non-explosive gas when handled correctly.
    However, any material that is already burning will burn much faster
    and hotter in an oxygen-enriched environment, so the following
    precautions should be observed when you use home oxygen.
