Answer to Question 1

4
The apolipoprotein E genotype has an effect on a person's cholesterol level which can lead to the development of cardiovascular disease. The apolipoprotein E genotype is not a factor with the development of diabetes mellitus, arthritis, or cystic fibrosis.

Answer to Question 2

1
When providing care in a highly global environment, the risks of communicable diseases increases. In the event that a client is admitted with a highly communicable disease and the nurses are fearing for their own health and safety, the only safe approach is to ensure all staff adhere to strict standard precautions. The other choices do not ensure that the client will receive the highest quality of care. The nurses must learn emotional intelligence and resolve issues under fire.
