Mmmkaay :)
Which of the following are non-modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer? African American ethnic background Advanced age All of these are non-modifiable risk factors for colorectal cancer. Family history of colorectal cancer
First know that non-modifiable means that it cannot be changed.
Looking from your pdf link, it explains the risk factors you cannot change. Looking at that, what do you think the answer is?
all o these
Correct it's all of the mentioned! (:
all of these is the answer :)
@saucvi
Which of the following lifestyle changes could help to lower risk for colorectal cancer? Incorporating 1 or 2 alcoholic drinks per day. Lose excess body weight. Avoiding excessive physical activity. Increasing consumption of red meat.
These are the things stated that increase your risk. You would want to do the opposite of these or something to improve these. Thus, what do you think the answer is?
Also a quick tip: if you take key words from your question and use cntl+f to search these key words, it'll usually take you to your answer.
is it increasing consumption of red meat
Not exactly. A risk factor stated is a diet that involves a high intake of red meats. This being said, you should probably avoid an excess consumption, right? Lacking exercise, and heavy alcohol use is said to increase your risk, correct? So it probably should not be A,C, or D. Look at B. It said being overweight increases your risk, so shouldn't you make sure you have a healthy body weight, and if you are overweight a way to get this is losing extra body fat, right?
so b is right:)
People with no known risk factors should begin colorectal cancer screening at age ______. 50 40 30 60
is it 50?
Yes, it's 50. Good job!
True or false: Rectal bleeding is a sure sign of colorectal cancer.
Agh I want to say yes, as it is definitely a system but I;m uncertain as rectal bleeding is not always a sign of colorectal cancer. It could be from other internal organs bleeding... Pay close attention to the last paragraph, what do you think?
I THINK TRUE :( IDK
BEACUSE its under signs and symptoms so i think yeah right?
I think just go with your gut instinct on this one.
so true ?
