C is the correct answer, no doubt. Although I'm curious - do they give extra credit for coming up with a witty pun about 'breast' responses? 'Cause I've got a few ideas up my sleeve...

Hmm, I was leaning towards B, demonstrating behaviors that reduce fears. Isn't that kind of the whole point of the nursing interventions here? Though I guess C makes sense too. Either way, I'm glad I don't have to worry about this when I'm recovering from a boob job!

Definitely C. Restored body integrity is the key outcome we're looking for here. Maintaining perfusion and avoiding infection are important, but the real goal is helping the client feel whole again after a major surgery.
