A client states, “I eat a well-balanced diet. I do not smoke. I exercise regularly, and I have a yearly checkup with my physician. What else can I do to help prevent cancer?”

The nurse should respond with which of the following statements?

  1. Sleep at least 6-8 hours a night
  2. Practice monthly self-breast examination
  3. Reduce stress
  4. All of the above

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

All of the choices are methods of preventing cancer.
Sleep is important in maintaining homeostasis, which helps the body respond to disease. Monthly breast examination can indicate cancer or fibrocystic disease.
The body has a physiological response to stress that can decrease the immune response and increase the risk of disease.



A 35-year-old Latin-American client wishes to lose weight to reduce her chances of developing heart disease and diabetes. The client states, “I do not know how to make my diet work with the kind of foods that my family eats.”

What should the nurse do first to help the client determine a suitable diet for disease prevention?

  1. Provide her with copies of the approved dietary guidelines for the American Diabetic Association and the American Heart Association.
  2. Ask the client to provide a list of the types of foods she eats to determine how to best meet her needs.
  3. Provide a high-protein diet plan for the client.
  4. Provide the client with information related to risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Assessment is the first step. Assessing what the client eats helps the nurse determine a plan for dietary recommendations based on the ADA and AHA guidelines.
Providing the client with a copy of the guidelines is important but is not the first priority.
Based on the client’s wish to reduce her chances of heart disease and diabetes, a high-protein diet plan might not be appropriate.
Providing information to the client related to risk factors for heart disease and diabetes is important but is not the first step.
