The incorrect option would be a. Avoid sunlight, especially during the hours of 9am-1pm.


While avoiding sunlight during the hours of 9am-1pm is generally advisable to help reduce the risk of developing melanoma and other forms of skin cancer, it would not be the best choice for prevention education as it is not a feasible instruction. It is important to use cover-up clothing, hats, and sunglasses when spending extended periods of time outdoors, but it is unrealistic to ask patients to avoid sunlight entirely, as they still need their daily dose of Vitamin D to stay healthy.
