The nurse is teaching breast self-examination (BSE) to a college student. The nurse knows that the client understands the best time to examine her breasts when she says:().
A."I'll examine my breasts 1 week after my period starts. "
B."I'll perform a BSE just before my period starts. "
C."I must examine my breasts the same time each day. "
D."Every time I shower I'll do a breast examination. "
参考答案:A
解析:
The breasts are least tender and have fewer nodules 1 week after menstruation starts. Before the onset of menstruation, breasts may be most tender and nodular. Examining the breasts every day or after every shower is excessive and unnecessary.
