Answer to Question 1

3
Euthenics involves the techniques for correcting defects in individuals after they have been born. Eugenics involves the selection and recombination of genes already existing in the gene pool. Genetic engineering entails changing a particular molecule in the structure of a gene to either eliminate a certain bad trait or to improve the genotype. Genetic testing is the testing of an individual at significant risk because of family history or because of symptoms.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 5, 6
The Institute of Medicine has identified 20 priority areas for quality improvement which include diabetes, end-of-life organ failures, tobacco dependence, and major depression. Motor vehicle accidents and scoliosis are not priority areas identified by the Institute of Medicine.
