A 23-year-old woman comes to the clinic for a Pap smear. After the examination, the client confides that her mother died of endo
metrial cancer 1 year ago and says that she is afraid that she will die of the same cancer. Which risk factor stated by the client after an education session on risk factors indicates that further teaching is needed?1. Obesity2. High-fat diet3. Hypertension4. Late-onset menarche
If the clients mentions late onset menarche as risk factor associated with endometrial cancer that means the client still needs to be educated more on the risk factors associated with the uterus cancer.
Early-onset, not late-onset, menarche is a risk factor for endometrial cancer. A high-fat diet, hypertension, and obesity are however all the risk factors
Late on set menarche is a late stage of starting puberty and endometrial cancer is associated with starting periods earlier or continuing your period beyond or after your menopause.
