A male client with a nagging cough makes an appointment to see the physician after reading that this symptom is one of the seven warning signs of cancer. What is another warning sign of cancer?
A. Rash
B. Indigestion
C. Chronic ache or pain
D. Persistent nausea
Correct Answer: B. Indigestion
Option B: Indigestion, or difficulty swallowing, is one of the seven warning signs of cancer. The other six are a change in bowel or bladder habits, a sore that does not heal, unusual bleeding or discharge, a thickening or lump in the breast or elsewhere, an obvious change in a wart or mole, and a nagging cough or hoarseness.
Options A and C: Rash and chronic ache or pain seldom indicate cancer.
Option D: Persistent nausea may signal stomach cancer but isn’t one of the seven major warning signs.
