[Knock before stepping into the exam room, making sure to close all curtains/doors after entering. Make sure lights are all on, and begin deliberately inspecting patient.] Hi, my name is ______, Im a student nurse at TWU and Ill be performing your assessment today. Can I have your name, please? Thank you, _________, Id like to ask you a few questions before we begin.
When did the pain/discomfort begin? (Onset) Where is the pain/discomfort located? Can you point to its exact location, please? How long does the pain/discomfort last? (Does it come and go (intermittent)?) (Duration) Can you describe the pain? (Burning, aching, stabbing, sharp, dull, any combination, etc.) (Characteristics) What makes it worse (aggravating)? Better (alleviating)? Any other (associated) pain/discomfort? Does the pain radiate or spread anywhere? (Referred) When is the pain the worst? Better? Continuous? Time of day? On a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 being the worst imaginable, please rate the severity of your pain/discomfort. (Document as X/10). How has this affected you? What do you think it means? (Patient Perception)

Breast Self-Exam
Id like to talk to you about breast self-exams, which is an exam a person can perform on his or herself to help aid in breast cancer detection, which is the most common type of cancer in American women, and male breast cancer is on the rise. Perform the exam once a month, at the end of your period, when your breasts are not tender or swollen. For women who do not have a period, and for men, perform the exam the first day of every month or whenever you can best remember to do it monthly. These five steps make up the breast self-exam: 1. Begin the exam in the shower. The hands move more easily over soapy, wet skin. With your fingers flat, move gently over the entire area of the breast, starting at the nipple and working outward. Check for any lump, hard knot, or thickening. 2. Stand in front of a mirror. Look at the breasts with hands at your sides, then with hands raised above your head, then finally with hands pressed firmly on your hips. Look for lumps, new differences in size or shape, swelling, dimpling, or lag in movement with these maneuvers. It is common for the left and right breasts to differ in size. 3. Examine your breasts with your fingers while sitting or standing. Slowly and methodically press on the breast with the opposite hand. With your fingers flat, work in a circular or spiral direction, beginning at the nipple and working your way outward. 4. Lie down, repeating the previous step. Place a small pillow or rolled towel under the shoulder on one side and place that same arm under your head to help distribute the tissue more evenly. Using the opposite hand, examine the breast. 5. Squeeze the nipple of each breast gently between your thumb and index finger. Report any discharge or fluid to your healthcare provider right away. The most common site for breast cancer is the upper outer quadrant, so be sure to examine the axillary areas as well. Contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible if you notice a lump, swelling, skin irritation or dimpling, nipple pain or retraction, redness or scaly rash on nipple or breast skin, or a discharge. The majority of women will never get breast cancer, the majority of breast lumps are benign, and early detection of breast cancer yields a high survival rate.

Osteoporosis Prevention
Id like to talk to you about osteoporosis, which thins and weakens the bones to the point where they break easily. Bones continue to grow, reaching their greatest strength at ages 20-35. After that, they slowly become weaker as you age, therefore the risk for osteoporosis increases as you get older, affects women more than men, and Caucasian and Asian women, especially slender women, have the highest risk. There may be no symptoms of osteoporosis until a bone breaks, often the hip, arm, or wrist. It may be diagnosed by an x-ray or bone mineral density tests. Risk is increased with a family history of osteoporosis, as well as modifiable behaviors. Treatment does not cure osteoporosis, but may slow down the bone loss and rebuild some bone. Treatment includes increasing calcium in the diet. Medications are available for those who do have osteoporosis, and those who have been diagnosed need to take precautions to prevent injury for the rest of their lives. Eating healthy foods, especially low-fat milk and diary products, green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, sardines, and shellfish aids in keeping bones healthy. Take a daily calcium supplement. Women under 50 need 1,000mg per day, and women over 50 need 1,200mg per day. Vitamin D also helps the absorption of calcium in the bones, which can be obtained through milk, supplements, and sunlight. Regular weight-bearing exercise such as walking daily, limiting caffeine intake, and not having more than one alcoholic drink per day can aid in bone health.
