Description
Video 4 from the Jarvis Physical Examination and Health Assessment Video Series begins with an anatomical review of the breasts and axillary
lymph nodes. Then it demonstrates how to inspect the breast, nipples, and axillae; screen for retraction; palpate the axillary lymph
nodes, breasts, nipples, and areolae; and evaluate any lump or mass. It also shows how to examine men’s breasts and how to teach women
about breast self-examination (BSE) and mammography.
