Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Feedback:
Legal responsibilities of genetic testing, counseling, and therapy include the results will not be withheld and given to the persons directly involved; the results will be provided as quickly as possible; participation in genetic screening is elective; and those desiring genetic screening must sign an informed consent for the procedures. After genetic counseling, persons are not to be coerced to undergo procedures; therefore, medically recommended procedures will not be immediately scheduled.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D
Feedback:
Measures to prevent endometrial cancer include eating a low-fat diet, having regular pelvic exams after the age of 21, engaging in daily exercise, becoming pregnant (pregnancy serves as a protective factor), and asking the practitioner about the use of combination estrogen and progestin pills.
