Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, F
Some suggestions that may improve male health are information about how their bodies function, what is normal, what is abnormal, what action to take, and the contributions of proper nutrition and exercise; self-care instruction, including testicular and genital self-examination; help with fathering; and recognition that feelings of confusion and uncertainty in a time of rapid social change are normal and that they may mark the onset of healthy adaptation to change. Male nurses can be extremely effective in such an endeavor. Providing assistance in learning how to control emotions and behaviors, encouraging the involvement in organized team sports, and the recognition of reality factors would not be the most important strategies to implement with adolescent males?

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, D, F
The good news is that healthy lifestyle changes and early detection and intervention have contributed to the decrease in mortality rates from some cancers. For example, the death rate for colorectal cancer has been decreasing for the past 15 years because of early detection and treatment (American Cancer Society, 2011). Lung cancer deaths are beginning to show a slight decline that parallels a decreased incidence of smoking by women over the age of 18 years. Certain health choices may reduce an individual's risk of cancer. Women could reduce their risk for cancer by never smoking or by quitting if they already use tobacco products. Eating a nutritious, plant-focused, high-fiber diet, along with adopting a physically active lifestyle and maintaining a healthy body weight protect against both heart disease and many cancers.
