Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: Cultural and religious beliefs and family values are all considerations when planning a teaching session on genetic testing. Insurance plays a factor in determining whether the test is done, but is not a consideration in the teaching session itself.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The adolescent is old enough to understand the pros and cons of testing. It would be advisable to discuss the matter with the adolescent and then more fully with the parents. That the minor is not able to give consent is true, but this answer cuts off discussion and is not appropriate. Insurance and discrimination can play a role in the decision, but still are not the appropriate answers because they do not address the issue of the request for testing.
