A, C, D, F
Expected outcomes for a client diagnosed with breast cancer would include that the client will: identify emotional feelings related to the diagnosis of breast cancer; relate an understanding of usual medical and surgical treatments for breast cancer; discuss her perception of the effect of mastectomy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy on her life; list coping strategies for incisional pain, radiation discomfort, and chemotherapy side effects. Providing the client with information regarding possible side effects of chemotherapy and supporting the client and family regarding decision related to treatment are nursing interventions not client outcomes.
