ANS: A
African American women are more likely to die from breast cancer because of late diagnosis, and in women under 45 in this group, breast cancer is more common. To have the greatest impact, the nurse should target this group of women. Asian, Hispanic, and Native American women have a lower risk of developing and dying from breast cancer. Caucasian women tend to develop breast cancer more frequently than African American women, but they die less often.
