Answer to Question 1

B, C, F
Further clarification is needed if the nurses include cystic fibrosis and phenylketonuria, which are autosomal recessive, or Duchenne muscular dystrophy which is X-linked recessive. Autosomal dominant disorders include achondroplasia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Huntington disease, Marfan syndrome, neurofibromatosis type 1 and polycystic kidney disease.

Answer to Question 2

A
A woman who loses a pregnancy in the first trimester may feel something is wrong with her body. This is a common belief for parents who experience miscarriage early in pregnancy. Feelings of maternal inadequacy would occur after the birth of the fetus. Pain of severed emotional ties is not usual for miscarriage during the first trimester.
