Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, D
Feedback:
When conducting a health history assessment in anticipation of genetic counseling, the nurse will assess the age of the female member of the couple because some genetic anomalies are more common in older female patients. The nurse will also assess the couple for diseases that span three generations in both of the families and will assess the couple's individual ethnic backgrounds. Physical assessment can identify minimal expression of a disorder that has gone previously undiagnosed. Employment status is not typically a part of the health history in preparation for genetic counseling.

Answer to Question 2

Gonorrhea, chlamydia, genital herpes (HSV), genital warts (HPV), and human immunodefi-ciency virus (HIV).
Adolescents enjoy risk-taking behaviors with uncertain outcomes (including sexual expe-riences), the consequences do not seem great, and everybody else is doing it. Many ado-lescents become sexually active not because of sexual desire, but because of the need to be-long to the group.
