Answer to Question 1

B
The preceptor would know that the students understand if they reply Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS). Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an umbrella term for a group (with nine subtypes) of disorders of connective tissue that result in hyperelasticity of skin, hyperflexible joints, vascular fragility, and poor wound healing. Polycystic kidney disease is a disorder that causes cysts in the kidneys, liver, pancreas, and spleen. Marfan syndrome is another disorder of connective tissue, involving a triad of ocular, skeletal, and cardiovascular alterations. Von Recklinghausen disease is the development of multiple soft tumors of peripheral nerves, or neurofibromas, and an abnormal skin pigmentation.

Answer to Question 2

D
The most appropriate statement to a family after the loss of their infant is, I don't know that I can say anything that would make you feel better, but I just want you to know that I'm very sorry your baby died. This response demonstrates empathy in a caring, professional manner. Telling the parents that they are still young and can have other children is a very noncaring response that does not support the grieving parents. Saying that the baby is in heaven or that it's not right to question God minimizes the significance of the parents' loss and may antagonize clients of various religions.
