Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A background question asks for a fact. The response of anxiety on vital signs is a background question. A foreground question asks a question of relationship and may be controversial (best treatment). Questions related to a client's experience and best treatment are foreground questions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
Breast cancer, Huntington disease, and Marfan syndrome have an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. Alzheimer's disease is a complex disorder with familial clustering, hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder, and cystic fibrosis has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.
