To ensure breast health, the nurse teaches a client about prevention and detection practices. Which client statement indicates the need for further teaching?

• A. I will perform monthly breast self-exams
• B. I will have regular mammograms as recommended
• C. I will increase my daily meat consumption
• D. I will maintain a healthy weight and exercise

Answer: (C)

Understanding how to prevent and detect breast health issues relies on regular screening and healthy lifestyle choices. Regular mammograms as recommended catch problems early, and staying familiar with your breasts through monthly self-exams helps you notice changes that warrant evaluation. Maintaining a healthy weight and staying active reduce overall cancer risk and support breast health. Increasing daily meat consumption does not align with these preventive goals and could contribute to health risks, so this statement shows a gap in understanding and indicates a need for further teaching.
