If the lump has the following characteristics when the nurse palpates the breast tissue, which one is most suggestive that the lump may be a common?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Irregularly shaped lumps are more suggestive of malignancy, as benign lumps are typically smooth and mobile. Size, mobility, and location near the areola are less specific indicators.
