Answer to Question 1

D
Inflammatory diseases of the colon increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Arsenic exposure places the patient at risk for lung cancer. Women with a high level of education have been found to fall into the high-risk category for developing breast cancer, as well as having the first child after the age of 30.

Answer to Question 2

A, C, D, E
The nursing care plan should be updated as necessary, not just on a weekly basis. Concepts of the nursing process are demonstrated by performing orderly, logical head-to-toe assessments, as well as ongoing evaluation of patient goals and interventions to meet those goals.
