Answer to Question 1

2 or 3 days after a period ends
For women who menstruate, the best time to do BSE is 2 or 3 days after a period ends, when the breasts are least likely to be tender or swollen. Women who no longer menstruate should pick a day, such as the first day of the month, to regularly do a BSE.

Answer to Question 2

A
To correctly use a quad cane, the patient places the cane on the side opposite the involved leg. This provides added support for the weak or impaired side. Ambulation then begins by moving the cane forward 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm), keeping body weight on both legs. The weak leg is then brought forward even with the cane while the body weight is supported by the strong leg and the cane. The strong leg is then advanced past the cane. Moving a leg and the cane forward at the same time will compromise balance and increase risk of fall.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
