The nurse has completed a seminar teaching a group in the community about ways to reduce cancer risks. The nurse returns a month later to evaluate the effectiveness of the seminar
Which statements made by members of the group indicate retention and application of the material presented by the nurse to reduce the risk of developing cancer?
Select all that apply.
A) "I stopped using tanning booths."
B) "I began drinking two glasses of red wine a day with dinner."
C) "I have reduced my intake of fiber."
D) "I have increased the amount of lean red meat in my diet."
E) "I now limit my alcohol intake to three drinks per week."
Answer: A, E
Excessive use of alcohol, especially in women, has been linked to increased risk of breast cancer, so reduction in intake would demonstrate understanding. Use of tanning booths increases the risk of skin cancer, so discontinuing use would indicate understanding. Increasing the amount of lean red meat and drinking two glasses of red wine daily are not actions that reduce cancer risk. Increased fiber intake reduces the risk of colon cancer.
