A couple has been referred for genetic counseling. Prior to making the appointment, the couple should understand that:
 
  1. The cost of genetic counseling will be covered by their health insurance.
  2. Genetic counseling and testing is voluntary. They have a right to decide not to seek the information.
  3. Once genetic counseling has been completed, the physician may require sterilization of the man or woman.
  4. Their extended family will benefit from the knowledge the couple gains.

Question 2

The nurse is teaching family members of a child getting ready for discharge how to administer medication to the child via a G-tube. The nurse created a nursing care plan with the diagnosis: knowledge deficit medication administration per G-tube.

  2. Is able to give a return demonstration.
  3. Repeats the instructions.
  4. Administers the medication through the G-tube.
