Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This child has manifestations of fragile X syndrome. The family needs to have genetic testing done for this inherited condition. The other instructions are not necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Untreated psychiatric disorders increase the risk of substance abuse, so the family should be referred to a mental health provider. Many treatment centers include this service, but if not, the nurse needs to facilitate this referral. The other referrals are not necessarily needed.
