Leukemia

Leukemia ( 56 Questions)

A nurse is reviewing the medical records of clients diagnosed with leukemia on a cancer unit. Which client's medical history should the nurse recognize as a possible risk factor for developing leukemia?


Correct Answer: C

A) This choice is incorrect because a sedentary lifestyle is not a known risk factor for leukemia. Physical inactivity is associated with other health conditions but not leukemia.

B) This choice is incorrect because having a vegetarian diet is not a risk factor for developing leukemia.

C) This choice is correct. A history of tobacco use is a potential risk factor for leukemia. Smoking is associated with an increased risk of various cancers, and while the link to leukemia is not as clear as with other cancers, it is still considered a possible risk factor.

D) This choice is incorrect because a family history of diabetes is not a known risk factor for leukemia.
