A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about breast self-examinations. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
It's normal for one breast to be slightly larger than the other, and this statement reflects an accurate understanding of breast anatomy. Dimpling can be a sign of concern, and exams should be done monthly, about a week after the period starts, not on the first day or every other month.
