Answer to Question 1

2
The law protects the autonomy of competent individuals in making health care decisions regarding genetic testing and the lifestyle changes resulting from such tests. There may be a conflict between the rights of the individual and the rights of the family for whom this information may have relevance to health. The other choices do not apply to a conflict situation with a client and the family.

Answer to Question 2

1
High risks for developing mucositis include age younger than 20, hematologic or head and neck cancer, preexisting oral disease, and chemotherapy and radiation. Age greater than 50, living arrangements, and level of fatigue do not increase a client's risk of developing mucositis.

Once thought to have neurofibromatosis, Joseph Merrick (also known as "the elephant man") is now, in retrospect, thought by clinical experts to have had Proteus syndrome. This endocrine disease causes continued and abnormal growth of the bones, muscles, skin, and so on and can become completely debilitating with severe deformities occurring anywhere on the body.

Did you know?

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
