Data analysis was carried out descriptively using the principles of nursing care management. Patients are given breast care education and evaluation for three days. Education was carried out for 3 days for client 1 and client 2, where on the first day the researcher provided education about breast care so that both clients understood how to carry out breast care correctly and appropriately.
