Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B because the best time to perform a breast self-examination is about a week after the menstrual period starts, when breasts are least likely to be swollen or tender. Conducting an examination as soon as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms are noticed may not be the most effective timing due to potential swelling and tenderness associated with PMS, which can make the examination more difficult and less accurate.
