A community health nurse is collaborating with local organizations to plan educational programs for at-risk populations. Which of the following programs should the nurse implement to reach populations in the community that are at increased risk for testicular cancer?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A reason: Survivors of prostate cancer are not the primary at-risk group for testicular cancer. Testicular cancer typically affects younger men, not those with prostate cancer. Choice B reason: Benign prostatic hypertrophy occurs in older men and is unrelated to testicular cancer risk. Education for this group would not target the correct population. Choice C reason: Older adults are not at increased risk for testicular cancer. This cancer most commonly affects men between ages 15–35, so pamphlets at a health fair for older adults would miss the target population. Choice D reason: Young adults are the highest-risk group for testicular cancer. An information booth at a community resource fair for young adults would effectively reach the population most at risk, making this the correct answer.
