Which parent comment shows understanding of the cause of the child's genetic condition in such a way that the nurse can document that no further teaching about the cause is needed?
 
  1. Our child is like this because I sunbathed too much during the pregnancy when I carried him.
 
  2. My nephews had chickenpox in my seventh month of pregnancy with him, so he got this way.
 
  3. My child has this disease because the code in the genes just changed, and it is no one's fault.
 
  4. I was angry on the day when he was conceived in the womb; that is why he got this sickness.
