Answer to Question 1

1
The upper outer quadrant of the breast to the axilla is an area that needs to be evaluated since the greatest proportion of malignancies are found in this area of the breast. The other breast areas need to be examined; however, special attention should be given to the upper outer quadrant.

Answer to Question 2

1
Kyphosis is the forward curvature of the thoracic spine also known as humpback. Lordosis, or swayback, is an inward curvature of the lumbar spine. Scoliosis is a sideway curvature of the spine. Spondylolisthesis is when a vertebra slips over the one below.
