Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
The knowledge of human genetics can improve the safety, quality, and effectiveness of care for clients. It is important for nurses to understand the predisposition to disease as well as the impact of behavior and social conditions on overall community health and wellbeing. Many genetic dis-orders have an environmental link. Technology and communication patterns do not have a strong association with the development of genetic disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 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.
