Question 1 of 5
A community health nurse is instructing a group of female clients about breast self-examination (BSE). The nurse instructs the clients to perform the examination in which manner?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Breast self-examination (BSE) should be performed after the menstrual period, specifically on the seventh day of the menstrual cycle, when the breasts are smallest and least congested. This timing facilitates the easier detection of any abnormalities. Performing BSE at the onset of menstruation (Option
A) can lead to false results due to hormonal changes affecting breast tissue. Performing it every month during ovulation (Option
B) is not recommended as breast tissue may be more tender and lumpy during this time. Conducting weekly examinations at the same time of day (Option
C) is unnecessary and can lead to unnecessary anxiety for the client.
