Question 5
Type: MCSA
A family with a child who had a cleft lip and palate at birth are planning another pregnancy. What intervention should be recommended prior to conception?
1. A genetic family history
2. A family pedigree
3. A genetic physical assessment
4. A maternal health history
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: A genetic family history is recommended when there is history of a congenital anomaly, such as cleft lip and palate. A pedigree is a more comprehensive family history, and could follow a genetic family history if needed. The previous anomaly is already known, so a genetic history would be recommended over a genetic physical assessment. A maternal health history is not comprehensive enough for this case.
Rationale 2: A genetic family history is recommended when there is history of a congenital anomaly, such as cleft lip and palate. A pedigree is a more comprehensive family history, and could follow a genetic family history if needed. The previous anomaly is already known, so a genetic history would be recommended over a genetic physical assessment. A maternal health history is not comprehensive enough for this case.

Question 6
Type: MCSA
A father is a known carrier of an X-linked condition, and asks when he will know whether his newborn son has the condition he carries. Which response by the nurse is the most appropriate?
1. “Genetic studies have been ordered, and they will take about a week to determine the results.”
2. “We plan to run additional tests this afternoon, and should have results by the end of the day.”
3. “Your son cannot have the condition because the condition is X-linked and cannot be passed on to him.”
4. “There is a 50% chance you passed it on, but further tests are not recommended until he is a month old.”
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: A male child does not inherit any X chromosome from the father; therefore, the male child will not have the condition.
Rationale 2: A male child does not inherit any X chromosome from the father; therefore, the male child will not have the condition.
Rationale 3: A male child does not inherit any X chromosome from the father; therefore, the male child will not have the condition.

Question 7
Type: MCSA
A student nurse asks, “What is carrier testing?” Which response by the nurse educator is most appropriate to answer the student nurse’s question?
1. “Carrier testing involves testing an asymptomatic individual for carrier status for a genetic condition.”
2. “Carrier testing is used to establish a diagnosis of a genetic disorder in an individual who is symptomatic or has had a positive screening test.”
3. “Carrier testing is testing to identify a fetus with a genetic disease or condition. Some prenatal testing is offered routinely; other testing may be initiated due to family history or maternal factors.”
4. “Carrier testing follows in vitro fertilization (IVF) testing to identify embryos with a particular genetic condition.”
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Carrier testing involves testing an asymptomatic individual for carrier status for a genetic condition. Diagnostic testing is testing to identify a fetus with a genetic disease or condition. Some prenatal testing is offered routinely; other testing may be initiated due to family history or maternal factors.

Question 10
Type: MCSA
A family desires genetic testing for their adolescent. What response by the clinic nurse is appropriate?
1. “The child is a minor and cannot give consent.”
2. “It is not advisable because insurance does not pay for this test.”
3. “Let me discuss this with the adolescent and then we can discuss it more fully.”
4. “There is a chance the adolescent might be discriminated against because of the test.”
Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The adolescent is old enough to understand the pros and cons of testing. It would be advisable to discuss the matter with the adolescent and then more fully with the parents. That the minor is not able to give consent is true, but this answer cuts off discussion and is not appropriate. Insurance and discrimination can play a role in the decision, but still are not the appropriate answers because they do not address the issue of the request for testing.
Rationale 2: The adolescent is old enough to understand the pros and cons of testing. It would be advisable to discuss the matter with the adolescent and then more fully with the parents.
