Answer to Question 1

D
The nurse should explain that there is strong evidence that narcolepsy has a hereditary predisposition. Narcolepsy is relatively common among close relatives of affected individuals.

Answer to Question 2

A
Given the complexity of families today, the nurse should ask the clients to define who constitutes their families. Their definition might include a spouse and children, or it may include extended family members such as aunts, uncles, cousins, or grandparents. Some families consist of unrelated individuals who have chosen to live together out of convenience.
