1. Monthly breast self-exams for women
2. Yearly breast self-exams for men
3. Weekly testicular self-exams for men
4. Monthly breast self-exams for men
5. Yearly vulvar self-exams for women
Correct Answer: 1,4
Rationale: Both women and men should examine their breasts on a monthly schedule. Men should additionally examine their testicles monthly. There is no need for a yearly scheduled self-vulvar exam for women, as any abnormalities noticed should be examined by the woman or her health care provider immediately.
