Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
When conducting a health assessment interview and physical assessment, it is important for the nurse to consider genetic influences on the health of the adult. The nurse should ask about family members with health problems affecting the cardiovascular system, such as high BP, high cholesterol levels, or early-onset CAD. Having family members with broken bones from an accident or alcoholic cirrhosis and pancreatitis is not a genetic influence on the patient's cardiovascular health.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4
Thalassemia, an inherited disease of faulty hemoglobin synthesis, is more often found in descendants of people living near the Mediterranean Sea, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Thalassemia is not a communicable disease. Visiting India or Croatia does not increase the person's risk of developing this disorder.
