A nurse is providing teaching to a client about preventing skin cancer. Which of the following client statements indicates a need for further teaching?

Answer Choices:

A. “Eating a high fiber diet will reduce my risk for developing skin cancer.”. ✓ Correct Answer

B. “I should check my skin monthly for any changes.”.

C. “I should avoid the use of tanning booths.”.

D. “I should use sunscreen even on cloudy days.”.

Correct Answer:

“Eating a high fiber diet will reduce my risk for developing skin cancer.”.

Rationale:

▶ A high-fiber diet may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer, but it has no proven effect on preventing skin cancer.

▶ Skin cancer prevention focuses on UV protection, avoiding tanning beds, and regular skin checks.

▶ This statement shows a misunderstanding of risk factors specific to cutaneous malignancies.

▶ Therefore, the nurse should correct this misconception during education on skin cancer prevention.
