Answer to Question 1

ANS: 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.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Constructing a pedigree from a collected family history demonstrates assessment in the nursing process. Identification is demonstrated by identifying a client who may benefit from genetic counseling. Referral is demonstrated by referring a client to specialized genetic services. Provi-sion of education, care, and support is demonstrated by incorporating knowledge of genomic risk factors.
