The client receiving tamoxifen asks how this therapy helps fight breast cancer. What is the nurse’s best response?
A.   “The breast cancer cells need estrogen to continue growing. This agent decreases your circulating levels of estrogen.”
B.   “The breast cancer cells need estrogen to continue growing. This agent causes you to secrete testosterone instead of estrogen.”
C.   “The breast cancer cells need estrogen to continue growing. This agent kills off both the normal estrogen-secreting cells and the cancer cells.”
D.   “The breast cancer cells need estrogen to continue growing. This agent blocks the receptors for estrogen, reducing its availability to the cancer cells.”
