Answer to Question 1

C
Response:
Risk for complicated grieving related to the child's prognosis is a nursing diagnosis specific to this child's care. The prognosis for trisomy 18 is that the child will not survive beyond the first year of life. Inadequate coping related to the stress of providing care, deficient knowledge related to the genetic disorder, and interrupted family process due to the child's diagnosis could be appropriate for any family of a child with a genetic disorder.

Answer to Question 2

A
Response:
Being of male gender and Caucasian race is a risk factor for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, not genetic disorders. The fact that the child's grandmother and father have hearing impairments suggests a genetic disorder. The mother's age of 37 when she became pregnant and a breech delivery 3 weeks early are also risk factors for genetic disorders.
