The nurse who has been hired to work on an oncology unit identifies which group of women as being at highest risk of developing breast cancer?

A) African
B) Caucasian
C) Asian
D) Hispanic

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Asian women in the U.S., but Asian women have relatively lower rates of breast cancer screening than African American and white women in the U.S. Furthermore, disparities in breast cancer screening reportedly result from: low income, lack of a local mammography center, lack of transportation to a mammography center, lack of a usual healthcare provider, lack of a recommendation from a healthcare provider to get mammography screening, lack of awareness of breast cancer risks and screening methods, and cultural and language differences.
