    A nurse in a dermatologist's office is planning an educational session about skin cancer. Which of the following should the nurse include as risk factors for skin cancer? (Select all that apply.)

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A family history of skin cancer can increase the risk of developing the condition. B. While individuals with dark skin have a lower risk of developing skin cancer, they are not immune to it, and this option is not as strong a risk factor as others. C. Prior skin injuries, such as burns or scars, can increase the likelihood of skin cancer developing in those areas. D. Skin cancer risk generally increases with age, making this not a strong risk factor. E. UV light is a major risk factor for developing skin cancer due to its damage to skin cells and DNA.
