Answer to Question 1

B
Persons with a genetic susceptibility are at increased risk for developing the disease. Although the client may choose to have a bilateral mastectomy and recommend genetic testing to other family members, the most important thing to relay to the client is that having a genetic suscepti-bility does not mean that one will automatically have the disease.

Answer to Question 2

D
A family history is a useful tool to help families know about their health risks and prevent disease in themselves and their close relatives. It is recommended that families develop a three generation history and update it on a regular basis. Completion of a family history will not decrease genetic susceptibility; rather it will make families more aware of what that susceptibility may be.
