Question 12 • FL-8500355-Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Even though it is recommended that women have a mammogram screening beginning at age 45, 28-year-old Ava goes in once a year for her screening. Which statement MOST likely explains Ava’s motivation behind this yearly ritual?
Answer
A
Ava’s insurance pays for a yearly screening so she takes advantage of it.
B
Ava is terrified of developing cancer, so she has unnecessary tests done.
C
Ava believes the recommendation is wrong and is being proactive.
D
Ava has a family history of breast cancer, so she is predisposed to it.
Explanation
A family history of breast cancer can raise Ava’s risk, so she may be advised to begin screening earlier than the general recommendation. That makes being predisposed to breast cancer the most likely reason for her yearly mammograms. The stated age recommendation applies broadly, but individual risk factors can change screening plans.
