Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a patient sits with her hands on her hips and tightens the pectoral muscles, this position can reveal hidden dimpling or puckering of the skin that might not be visible in other positions. This is because the action can accentuate any underlying abnormalities or changes in the breast tissue or skin.
