Cancer warning signs : The nurse correctly identifies the 2 warning signs of cancer by responding

On a clinic visit a client who has a relative with cancer, is asking about the cancer warning signs. The nurse correctly identifies the warning signs of cancer by responding:

A. “If a sore healing took a month or more to heal, cancer should be suspected.”
B. “Presence of dry cough is one of the warning signs of cancer.”
C. “A lump located only in the breast area may suggest the presence of cancer.”
D. “Sudden weight loss of unexplained etiology can be a warning sign of cancer.”
