The nurse is caring for a woman newly diagnosed with breast cancer who asks the nurse to explain the difference between a mastectomy and a radical mastectomy. The nurse's best response is:
1. "They are both the same except that a radical mastectomy removes muscles from the chest wall."
2. "Both remove the breast tissue, but a radical mastectomy removes muscles and lymph nodes."
3. "The radical mastectomy takes more tissue from the chest and improves the chances of survival."
4. "The mastectomy removes more tissue and reduces the risk of metastasis, thereby improving survival rates."
