The nurse is collecting data to determine the clientÔÇÖs risk factors related to cervical cancer. The nurse determines which information to be significant?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Multiple sexual partners. This is significant because having multiple sexual partners increases the risk of exposure to human papillomavirus (HPV), a major risk factor for cervical cancer. Option B, multiple pregnancies, is incorrect as it is not directly linked to cervical cancer. Option C, late onset of menarche, does not directly impact cervical cancer risk. Option D, use of a diaphragm, is not a significant risk factor compared to HPV exposure.
