Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching men about early detection of prostate cancer according to the American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines. Which should the nurse teach the clients?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: ACS recommends PSA and DRE starting at age 50 for average-risk men. Earlier screening, sonograms, or biopsies are not standard unless indicated.

Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The American Cancer Society recommends that women at average risk for breast cancer begin annual mammograms at age 45, but a baseline mammogram may be considered at age 40-50 depending on guidelines. For low-risk, asymptomatic women, age 50 is often the standard starting point for routine screening.
