Answer to Question 1

A, D, E
Feedback:
Couples who are most apt to benefit from a referral for genetic testing or counseling include a closely related couple, are of ethnic backgrounds in which specific illnesses are known to occur, and those whose close relatives have a child with a genetic disorder. Having a friend with hemophilia and a foster brother with sickle-cell anemia would not support the couple's decision to have genetic counseling.

Answer to Question 2

Emancipated minors
Although state laws give minors some rights to give consent for treatment or health care, only those considered emancipated may have total control of their health-related decisions, in-cluding contraception and abortion.
