Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Regardless of the genetic abnormality, learning of a genetic abnormality may be shattering to the family. Therefore, the initial priority is to establish a trusting relationship. Once this is accomplished, other aspects of care, such as assisting with scheduling follow-up visits, teaching, and implementing measures to promote growth and development, can be addressed.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Manifestations of Turner syndrome include webbed neck, low posterior hairline, wide-spaced nipples, edema of the hands and feet, amenorrhea, and absence of secondary sex characteristics, along with short stature and slow growth. Microcephaly is commonly associated with trisomy 13 . Gynecomastia and cognitive delay are associated with Klinefelter syndrome
