Problem: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States (National Cancer Institute, 2014). Evidence supports preventive CRC screening, however, younger individuals at high-risk are often overlooked (Levin et al., 2008). Screening rates remain suboptimal despite these recommendations (American Cancer Society, 2013). Nurse practitioners (NP) can positively influence the incidence of high-risk screening referrals through knowledge and application of high-risk CRC screening guidelines. This knowledge when applied will transform high-risk CRC screenings from tertiary prevention, to primary and secondary prevention in CRC screenings and will improve health outcomes....
