Which individual is most at risk for head and neck cancer?

2. An older male with a history of preferring "meat and potatoes"
3. A young male with a history of smoking for 15 years

An older female with a history of using "snuff"
Rationale: Any client with a history of using smokeless tobacco is 50 times more likely to experience a cancer of the cheeks, gums, and inner surface of the lips. Decreased intake of fruits and vegetables, smoking, and human papillomavirus infection all increase the risk, but not as high as in those using smokeless tobacco.
