Sherine likes to sunbathe for several hours at a time without sunscreen or protective clothing. She says it’s healthy because it increases her vitamin D levels. What advice should Sherine’s healthcare provider give her?

Sherine's doctor probably say that it is unhealthy to do that for hours at a time because she could develop skin cancer, and that she should apply a sunscreen with at least an spf of 50
