A 38-year-old client presents to the clinic office complaining of increased bilateral tenderness of her breasts prior to the onset of menses. On questioning the client, this presentation has occurred off and on for several years,
 
  but the pain has increased. Physical examination reveals lumpy areas bilaterally on the upper outer quadrants of each breast tissue. The areas of concern are approximately 2 cm in size. Based on this assessment, what diagnostic testing would be required? (Select all that apply.)
 
  a. Ultrasound examination
  b. Open biopsy
  c. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy
  d. CBC with differential
  e. Mammogram

Based on the clinical presentation, the client may have fibrocystic breast disease. Although this condition is typically benign, the fact that the client has noted a change in tenderness should be evaluated. Ultrasound, FNA, and mammography may be indicated to provide a baseline for comparison and rule out any malignancy. An open or surgical biopsy is not indicated at the present time but may be needed if the other test results indicate any pathology. Blood work is not indicated at this time relative to the diagnosis.
