Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: Important factors to integrate into a nursing assessment include the following: eliciting information from three generations of the family health history; conducting comprehensive health and physical assessments that incorporate knowledge about genetic, environmental, and genomic influences and risk factors; analyzing the history and physical assessment findings for genetic, environmental, and genomic influences and risk factors; and assessing patients' knowledge, perceptions, and responses to genetic and genomic information. Laboratory testing is not part of the nursing assessment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: Genes may influence the development of mental disorders by governing the organic causes of disorders, such as schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease; they may produce abnormalities in individual development; or they may influence an individual's vulnerability to disorders such as major depression and generalized anxiety. Environmental influences only partly contribute to mental health disorders. There is a genetic component in most mental health disorders.
