The home care nurse is conducting a diet history with an older client who lives alone. the nurse finds that the client's typical 24-hour food intake consists of eggs and sausage for breakfast, a fast-food lunch of hamburger and french fries, takeout fried chicken for dinner, and ice cream in the evening. to decrease the risk of cancer, what statement would the nurse make to the client?

"A high-fat diet increases your risk for colon cancer."

Explanation:

Some scientific studies have already found a relationship between high fat intake and colon cancer risk, so we can say that a high-fat diet like the man exposed in the question increases the risk of colon cancer.

Colon cancer encompasses tumors that affect one segment of the large intestine (the colon) and the rectum, being one of the most common cancers in the world. It is treatable and curable in most cases early detected. 90% of these tumors start from polyps (benign lesions that can grow on the inner wall of the large intestine). A polyp takes an average of 10 years. One way to prevent the onset of tumors would be to detect and remove polyps before they become malignant through procedures such as colonoscopy.
