The nurse should help each woman establish a regular schedule of self-care.The best time to conduct breast self-examination is right after the menstrual period,or the fourth through seventh day of the menstrual cycle,when the breasts are the smallest and least congested.Advise the pregnant or menopausal woman who is not having menstrual periods to select a familiar date to examine her breasts each month,for example,her birth date or the day the rent is due.
