The nurse is prepping a woman who is getting ready for a double mastectomy and who asks, “Will I be able to have another surgery to fix my appearance after this?” What factors affect whether a woman is able to have breast reconstruction surgery?

The availability of breast tissue after the mastectomy
The patient undergoing radiation therapy
The patient’s recent mastectomy procedure
Metastasis that has spread to the liver

Explanation

Answer: D-Metastasis that has spread to the liver affects whether a woman is able to undergo breast reconstruction surgery. Reconstruction surgery may be performed immediately after a woman has a mastectomy. If she does not have enough breast tissue, the surgeon may use implants or tissue expanders to increase the amount of tissue for the reconstruction.
