What are the levels of prevention for this patient?

• A primary level of prevention would be to educate the patient on modifiable risk factors. These modifiable risk factors, according to the Pan American Health Association, consist of obesity, physical inactivity and reduced alcohol consumption can reduce breast cancer incidence and improve overall health (2014).
• A secondary level of prevention would be performing additional screening to identify the possible possibility of breast cancer in its earliest stages. With the patient being 32 y/o, I would utilize sonography to further assess and identify the mass. With being under the age of 35 y/o the breast tissue tends to be denser. This dense tissue impedes the accuracy of mammography and makes it more challenging to detect microcalcifications (2022).
