A nurse is providing education to a new 55-year-old African-American client about screening for prostate cancer. What action by the nurse is most appropriate?

Rationale: A. Letting the client know that he should be screened annually as an African American is too prescriptive; screening frequency should be based on shared decision-making between the client and provider. B. Informing the client that recommendations vary, so screening is a personal choice is partially correct but lacks emphasis on his higher risk due to race and age, which are key considerations in prostate cancer education. C. Giving the client written information that discourages screening until age 70 is incorrect, as men at higher risk (such as African American men or those with a family history) are advised to discuss screening earlier, typically around age 45 or even 40. D. Teaching the client that he is in a high-risk group and should discuss screening is the most appropriate action. The nurse recognizes the client’s increased risk for prostate cancer as an African American male over 50 and encourages an informed discussion with his healthcare provider about potential screening options, such as PSA testing and digital rectal exams.
