A 35-year-old client is diagnosed with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). He says, "My mom died from colon cancer and I don't want to have the same thing happen to me." What should the nurse consider in formulating a response to this statement?

▸ The client's lifetime risk for colorectal cancer exceeds 75%.

▸ Testing to identify if the disease is genetic or environmental will be done before a prognosis is made.

▸ Because the client is still young, cancer is likely years in the future.

▸ Clients with FAP are treated primarily with chemotherapeutic drugs even if cancer is not noted.
