HEALTH APPRAISAL AND SCREENING PROCEDURES

menstruating.

How to examine your breast:

your right arm behind your head. Use the finger
pads of the middle fingers on your left hand to feel
for lumps in the right breast. Use overlapping dime-
sized circular motions of the finger pads to feel the
breast tissue.

chest bone (sternum or breastbone).
