Answer to Question 1

3
Genetic engineering has been used to develop synthetic insulins, drugs, and vaccines. Gene therapy is the use of genes to treat disease. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how a person's genetic traits affect the body's response to drugs. Oncogenomics is the use of chemotherapy and vaccines to treat and prevent cancer.

Answer to Question 2

4
Fatigue is the most common symptom associated with cancer and cancer treatment. Fatigue is more often a result of the treatment than the cancer itself. The client should be informed that fatigue may persist after cancer therapy is completed, but it will eventually improve.
