Parents of a child with hemophilia want to have a second child. Genetic testing is recommended because:
 
  1. The disease is carried by a dominant X-linked gene.
   2. The disease is a mutation and has a low occurrence with subsequent pregnancies.
   3. The X-linked recessive trait must be present in both parents, and a subsequent child may have the same disorder.
   4. The Y-linked recessive trait causes the disease to occur and will happen in subsequent pregnancies.

Question 2

When speaking with a teen about his/her home environment, the assessment should consist of:
 
  1. Review of the relationship with the parents and siblings.
   2. Assessing where the child sleeps.
   3. Assessing the types of food provided.
   4. Assessing school performance.
