Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]
Explanation
Choice A rationale
A family history of breast cancer is a significant risk factor because genetic mutations, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2, can be inherited and increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer.
Choice B rationale
Multiparity (having multiple pregnancies) is generally considered to reduce the risk of breast cancer. This is because pregnancy and breastfeeding lower the number of menstrual cycles a woman has, reducing her lifetime exposure to estrogen.
Choice C rationale
Exposure of the chest to high-dose radiation, especially during childhood or young adulthood, increases the risk of breast cancer. Radiation can cause mutations in breast cells, leading to cancer.
Choice D rationale
Previous cancer of the breast, uterus, or ovaries increases the risk of developing breast cancer. This is due to shared risk factors and the possibility of metastasis or recurrence.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Speaking loudly and into the client’s good ear is not recommended. Loud speech can be distorted and uncomfortable for individuals with presbycusis.
Choice B rationale
Using sign language is not necessary unless the client is proficient in it. Most clients with presbycusis benefit more from clear verbal communication.
Choice C rationale
Sitting by the client’s side and speaking very slowly is not as effective as speaking directly to the client in a normal, clear voice.
Choice D rationale
Speaking directly to the client in a normal, clear voice is recommended. This ensures that the client can read lips and understand the conversation better.
