examination, and the shower allows for ease of palpation.
Answer 3 in incorrect because a clock-like sequence is the proper way to perform a BSE.
Answer 4 is incorrect because under the arms houses lymph nodes and the axillary tail of

B. "When the breast implants are inserted they usually affect the milk glands, and breastfeeding
is not possible."
C. "This would depend on which type of implants were placed and which procedure was used
by the surgeon. Check with your surgeon to see if your milk production will be affected."

C
