MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. In teaching a women’s community group, which risk factor does the healthcare professional teach is
related to high morbidity of cancer of the colon, uterus, and kidney?
a. Women older than 45 years of age
b. Women who have never had children
c. Women who have a high body mass index
d. Woman who have smoked for more than 10 years
ANS: C
A recent hypothesis states that the observed increased incidence of such cancers as breast,

No current research supports the remaining options.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Understanding
2. Which substance has been shown to increase the risk of cancer when used in combination with
tobacco smoking?
a. Alcohol
b. Steroids
c. Antihistamines
d. Antidepressants
ANS: A
Alcohol interacts with smoke, increasing the risk of malignant tumors, possibly by acting as a solvent
for the carcinogenic chemicals in smoke products. No current research supports steroids,
antihistamines, or antidepressants as having an increased effect on the incidence of cancer when used
in combination with tobacco smoking.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering
3. Which cancers pose the highest risk for radiologists?
a. Thyroid
b. Breast
c. Leukemia
d. Brain
ANS: C
Ionizing radiation exposure places radiologists at risk for the development of leukemia, lymphoma,
and skin cancers.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering
4. Research has shown a link between cancer and which sexually transmitted disease?
