Explanation:

In a breast - self exam (BSE) while standing in front of a mirror, pressing hands firmly on the hips to flex chest muscles helps to observe any changes in breast appearance. Gently squeezing each nipple to check for discharge can also be done in this position. Palpating the under - arm area systematically is part of the overall BSE but not typically done while just standing in front of the mirror. Feeling the breast tissue with fingers and in a circular pattern are more tactile checks done lying down or in other positions rather than mainly in front of a mirror.

Answer:

Gently squeeze each nipple to identify any discharge., Press the hands firmly on the hips to flex the chest muscles.
