4. Which provides the best explanation for the importance of the “Go Red”
and “The Heart Truth” campaigns?
a. Because heart disease is so prevalent, we all need to know the usual
symptoms so we may seek help quickly.
b. Few people are aware of how to prevent chronic diseases such as cancer.
c. We need to increase awareness of the genetic component in chronic disease.
d. Women have different symptoms and require different treatment than men.
ANS: D
After the age of 65 years, women are twice as likely to die because of heart
disease as men. In part this phenomenon is because the subtle or absence of
symptoms of coronary artery disease. Women are still more likely to die from a
first myocardial infarction. In 2002, the American Heart Association launched
the “Go Red” campaign for women and “The Heart
Truth” program for health care providers. Both programs are designed to
educate about the unique features of women and heart disease. These
campaigns address heart disease and do not include information about other
chronic diseases such as cancer. Heart disease is caused by both lifestyle
choices and genetic factors, thus education needs to be provided related to
both of these aspects.

5. Which best explains why cancer rates increase as people get older?

cardiac disease rates are decreasing, making cancer rates increase.

the rates are increasingNbecause

cancer at an early stage.
c. Poor lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and increased life
expectancy have all caused cancer rates to increase.
d. Other causes of death are decreasing, so it appears that cancer rates are
increasing.
ANS: C
Cancer rates appear to be increasing for a number of reasons, including
lifestyle choices (smoking, diet, sun exposure); increasing exposure to
environmental carcinogens; and age. There has not been a significant decrease
of cardiac disease or other causes of death.
Screening programs exist to detect cancers early and more cancers are
detected at earlier stages.
