Physiological AdaptationQuestion 1328 of 2368
A client has a single papilloma growing in a large milk duct close to the nipple. Which finding does the nurse expect?
- Bloody or clear nipple discharge
- Greenish discharge with nipple inversion
- Multiple painless bilateral breast lumps
- No symptoms of any kind
Show answer
Correct answer: Bloody or clear nipple discharge
A solitary papilloma near the nipple can cause unusual bloody or clear discharge. Multiple papillomas farther away do not cause discharge.
