A patient says that she has recently noticed a lump in the front of her neck below her "Adam's apple" that seems to be getting bigger. During the assessment, what finding would lead the nurse to suspect that this may not be a cancerous thyroid nodule?

A. A tender thyroid nodule is more likely to be benign and associated with inflammation or thyroiditis, not cancer. B. This is more concerning for a malignant nodule, as cancerous nodules are often firm and immobile. C. A thyroid nodule typically does not change or disappear with facial movements, which is more characteristic of a different type of mass, such as a lymph node. D. These characteristics are more consistent with a benign nodule, which is often movable and less likely to be cancerous.
