The nurse has instructed the client in the correct technique for breast self-examination (BSE). For a portion of the examination, the client will lie down
If the client were to examine the right breast, the nurse would tell the client to place a pillow: 1. Under the left scapula
2. Under the left shoulder
3. Under the right shoulder
4. Under the small of the back
3
Rationale: The nurse would instruct the client to lie down and place a towel or pillow under the shoulder on the side of the breast to be examined. If the right breast is to be examined, the pillow would be placed under the right shoulder, and vice versa. Therefore "under the left scapula," "under the left shoulder," and "under the small of the back" are incorrect.
