Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The objectives of Healthy People 2020 related to genetics suggest that screening and genetic testing for specific groups still remain the standard of practice while other routine screenings or tests are questioned for their impact on morbidity and mortality. Healthy People 2020 objectives do not address client education, client counseling, or legislation for genetics.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The minimum competencies for health care professionals set forth by NCHPEG are: be able to examine competence of practice, understand the social and psychological implications of health-related genetic information, and know how and when to make referrals to a genetics pro-fessional. Making a referral is the only example that is described in these competencies.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
