Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
In the 1970s, nurses working in genetics provided genetic counseling to persons with genetic diseases or risk factors for such disorders. The other activities performed by the nurse did not occur until the 1990s.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The NCHPEG identifies one competency of health care professionals as being able to understand that health-related genetic information can have social and psychological implications for indi-viduals and families. The CDC, American Nurses Association, and International Council of Nurses do not address any competencies specifically related to genetic testing.
