2024 PN NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
A client asks the nurse what risk factors increase the chances of getting skin cancer. The risk factors include all except:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Skin cancer risk factors primarily relate to environmental and genetic influences. A light or fair complexion (A) increases sensitivity to UV radiation, making skin cancer more likely. Prolonged sun exposure (B) significantly raises the risk, as does a history of severe sunburns (D), which can damage skin cells. In contrast, while diet and foods can influence overall health, they are not directly linked to skin cancer risk in the same way as the other options. Thus, option C does not represent a recognized risk factor for skin cancer.
