Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Tay-Sachs disease is the most common genetic disease among people of Jewish ancestry. The nurse should educate the parents with Jewish ancestry about screening for this disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Children with PKU are born without an enzyme to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. If not treated with a life-long phenylalanine-free diet, the child can have severe mental and physical retardation. The other diseases do not require this diet.
