    Background:

    • Accurate breast tissue assessment is crucial for early detection of abnormalities.
    • Nurses require clear guidelines to differentiate normal variations from concerning findings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide nurses with a framework for identifying normal breast tissue characteristics.
    • To enhance nurses' skills in breast examination and patient counseling.

    Main Methods:

    • Descriptive review of normal breast tissue properties.
    • Emphasis on palpation characteristics: consistency, mobility, location, size, and shape.
    • Inclusion of tenderness as a differentiating factor.

    Main Results:
