Which response by a client who has AIDS indicates a risk for suicide?

Choice A rationale

The first action when planning a program on early detection of breast cancer for employees at a local business should be to determine the employee’s knowledge level of breast self- examination. This is crucial because the effectiveness of the program will depend on the current understanding and practices of the employees. If the employees already have a good understanding of breast self-examination, the program can focus more on other aspects such as the importance of regular check-ups and early detection. However, if the employees have limited knowledge about breast self-examination, the program should prioritize teaching this skill.

Choice B rationale

While scheduling a guest speaker to talk about breast cancer to employees can be an effective way to provide information and motivate employees, it should not be the first action.

Understanding the employees’ current knowledge and practices should come first to tailor the program effectively.

Choice C rationale

Developing educational materials for employees is an important part of a breast cancer early detection program. However, these materials should be developed based on the needs and current understanding of the employees, which is why determining the employees’ knowledge level of breast self-examination should come first.

Choice D rationale

Having breast models available to employees during teaching sessions can be a useful tool for demonstrating breast self-examination. However, this should not be the first action. The first step should be to assess the employees’ current knowledge and practices.

Choice A rationale: Primary prevention: smoking cessation reduces risk before disease onset through behavior modification, nicotine dependence treatment, and health education. It does not involve screening or early detection characteristic of secondary prevention.

Choice B rationale: Tertiary prevention: referral aids rehabilitation, relapse prevention, and functional recovery after established disorder. Emphasizes reducing complications and improving life quality, not early detection or screening characteristic of secondary prevention measures.

Choice C rationale: Secondary prevention: prenatal care conducts screening and early detection of maternal–fetal complications, enabling interventions to limit progression and improve outcomes. This focuses on detection, not education typical of primary prevention.

Choice D rationale: Primary prevention: advocating anti-texting laws targets upstream determinants to prevent injuries before occurrence by reducing distracted driving risk. This is policy, not screening or early detection characteristic of secondary prevention.
