Practice Question
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?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"It is common for one breast to be larger than the other
Rationale:
🔸 Slight asymmetry between breasts is a normal anatomical variation and not a cause for concern.
🔸 This finding is especially common during hormonal fluctuations or developmental changes.
🔸 Asymmetry only becomes concerning if there's a sudden or recent change in size or shape.
🔸 Breast self-awareness includes knowing what's normal for the individual's body.
🔸 Teaching this normal variation can reduce unnecessary anxiety during self-examinations.
🔸 It also encourages clients to report only significant or new abnormalities, such as dimpling or lumps.
