The nurse advises a 42-year-old client to have a screening mammogram. The client asks why this is necessary since she performs a breast selfexamination (BSE) monthly. The nurse's best response is:

1. “All women over 35 should have an annual mammogram.”

2. “A mammogram can identify breast cancer before it's detectable by BSE.”

3. “Most women don't perform BSE thoroughly enough to detect cancer.”

4. “A mammogram can detect other endocrine abnormalities as well.”
