Answer to Question 1
ANS: D
Barriers to genetic testing are: some individuals do not have an insurance carrier that reimburses for genetic testing, a high-deductible insurance policy, and feelings that testing may decrease the quality of life and increase anxiety for the future if the results were positive. Others may also feel guilty about passing along a disease to children and grandchildren. Health insurance cannot be denied to individuals because of genetic testing results. There are no legal implications for genet-ic testing. There is not a high inaccuracy of results that are obtained through genetic testing.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: C

The best way to obtain this information is to ask an open-ended question about past medical history of parents and grandparents. Asking about com-pletion of genetic testing by others, familial history specific only to genetic disorders, and envi-ronmental exposures do not address the importance of obtaining a family history.
