A 62-year-old patient complains to the nurse that mammograms are painful and a source of radiation exposure. She says she does breast self-examination (BSE) monthly and asks whether it is necessary to have an annual mammogram. The nurse’s best response to the patient is,
 
a.   “If your mammogram was painful, it is especially important that you have it done annually.”
b.   “An ultrasound examination of the breasts, which is not painful or a source of radiation, can be substituted for a mammogram.”
c.   “Because of your age, it is even more important for you to have annual mammograms.”
d.   “Unless you find a lump while examining your breasts, a mammogram every 2 years is recommended after age 60.”
