Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, D
A child's gender and race; the child's biological traits, including some behavioral traits or aspects of temperament; and certain diseases or illnesses are directly linked to genetic inheritance. Stating that the child's temperament won't be like their grandfathers' and stating that heart disease can't be genetic warrants the nurse to further explain genetic influences on their future child's health.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Early initiation of smoking can be an indication of multiple adverse events of home violence. Expressing feelings with art and involvement in school activities can be a coping behavior or a sign that the child is well adjusted. Frequent stomachaches could be caused by anxiety about school.
