◉ b.
Answer: You are a maternal-newborn nurse caring for a mother who
just delivered a baby born with Down syndrome. What nursing
diagnosis would be the most essential in caring for the mother of
this infant?
a Disturbed body image
b Interrupted family processes
c Anxiety
d Risk for injury
◉ c.
Answer: A couple has been counseled for genetic anomalies. They
ask you, "What is karyotyping?" Your best response is:
a "Karyotyping will reveal whether the baby's lungs are mature."
b "Karyotyping will reveal whether your baby will develop
normally."
,c "Karyotyping will provide information about the gender of the
baby and the number and structure of the baby's chromosomes."
d "Karyotyping will detect any physical deformities the baby has."
◉ d.
Answer: With regard to the estimation and interpretation of the
recurrence of risks for genetic disorders, nurses should be aware
that:
a With a dominant disorder, the likelihood of the second child also
having the condition is 100%.
b An autosomal recessive disease carries a one in eight risk that the
second child will also have the disorder.
c Disorders involving maternal ingestion of drugs carry a one in four
chance of being repeated in the second child.
d The risk factor remains the same no matter how many affected
children are already in the family.
◉ b.
Answer: With regard to abnormalities of chromosomes, nurses
should be aware that:
a They occur in approximately 10% of newborns.
b Abnormalities of number are the leading cause of pregnancy loss.
, c Down syndrome is a result of an abnormal chromosomal structure.
d Unbalanced translocation results in a mild abnormality that the
child will outgrow.
◉ a.
Answer: A key finding from the Human Genome Project is:
a Approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes make up the genome.
b All human beings are 80.99% identical at the DNA level.
c Human genes produce only one protein per gene; other mammals
produce three proteins per gene.
d Single-gene testing will become a standardized test for all
pregnant women in the future.
◉ a.
Answer: Most of the genetic tests now offered in clinical practice are
tests for:
a Single-gene disorders.
b Carrier screening.
c Predictive values.
d Predispositional testing.
