C) "I don't need to check under my arm on that side if my breast feels fine."
D) "I need to work from the center of my breast outward toward my shoulder."
B
Response:
When performing breast self-examination, the client should use the pads of the middle three fingers to palpate the breast. When performing the visual part of the procedure, the woman should look at her breasts with her arms up behind the head, with arms down at the sides, and while bending forward. When palpating the breast, the woman should check the breasts as well as the area between the breast and the axilla, the axilla itself, and the area above the breast up to the clavicle and across the shoulder. When palpating, the woman should start at the outer edge and work toward the nipple.
