  3. “The sizes of both breasts should match exactly alike.”

Explanation
Answer: B - For clients with regular menses, the breast examination should be done 7 to 10 days after the period, but if the menses are irregular, the breast examination should be done on the same day every month. The right hand is used to check the left breast and the left hand is used to check for the right breast. The sizes of breasts do not always exactly match.
