The abuse questionnaire should be given to
 
  a. women who have frequent emergency de-partment visits
  b. women who show signs of battering
  c. teens and unwed mothers

Question 2

A nurse counsels a couple on sex-linked disorders. Both are carriers of the disorder. They ask the nurse how this disorder will affect any children they might have. The nurse's best response is:
 
  1. If you have a daughter, she will not be affected.
  2. Your son will be affected, since the father has the disorder.
  3. There is a 25 chance that your son will have the disorder, since the mother has the disorder.
  4. There is a 50 chance that your son will be a carrier only.

Answer to Question 1

D
Because women are the most likely victims of abuse, all women who enter the health care system should be assessed for abuse. Only giving the abuse questionnaires to women who have frequent emergency department visits is not an appropriate criterion. Women who show signs of battering, teens, and unwed mothers definitely should be assessed, but the questionnaire should be given to all women and not just these women.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale:
1. There is a 50 chance that a carrier mother will pass the abnormal gene to each of her daughters, who will become carriers.
2. Fathers affected with a sex-linked disorder cannot pass the disorder to their sons, but all their daughters become carriers of the disorder.
3. There is a 50 chance that a carrier mother will pass the abnormal gene to each of her sons, who will be affected.
4. There is a 50 chance that a carrier mother will pass the normal gene to each of her sons, who will be unaffected.
