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.
