A nurse is providing an education program about dietary interventions to reduce the risk for prostate cancer. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

A. Increasing animal fat is not recommended. Diets high in saturated fats and red or processed meats have been associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Reducing animal fat intake is advised to support prostate health. B. Increasing complex carbohydrates can be part of a healthy diet, but there is no strong evidence that this specifically reduces prostate cancer risk. The focus should be on foods with protective effects, such as omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, and vegetables. C. Increasing fatty fish is recommended because fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel, and sardines are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties and have been associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Including fatty fish in the diet 2–3 times per week is a practical preventive dietary measure. D. Reducing dietary fiber intake is incorrect. Adequate dietary fiber from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is important for overall health and may help reduce cancer risk, but reducing fiber would be counterproductive.
