1. A client states that she had a mastectomy of her left breast last year and now experiences
lymphedema. What should the nurse expect to find when examining the client?
Answer Choices:
- A. Swelling of the left arm and non-pitting edema.
- B. Swelling in the right arm with pitting edema.
- C. Bilateral arm swelling and hard texture.
- D. No swelling, as lymphedema is not common post-mastectomy.

the affected arm (left arm in this case) with non-pitting edema due to lymphatic fluid accumulation.
