Pathophysiology: Concepts of Human Disease (Sorenson) Chapter 2 Genetics, Genomics, and Epigenomics 1) The community health nurse is planning a program for a local health fair on genetics and health, using Healthy People 2020 goals. Which concepts should guide the nurse's planning for the program? A) People should know their family health history. B) All people should have genetic testing done. C) Genetic testing determines what diseases a person will develop. D) All diseases have a genetic basis. Answer: A Explanation: A) Research substantiates the benefits of taking a family health history and the use of genetic and genomic tests to identify risk factors, diagnose disease, and guide the use of screening tests and treatment options. B) Research substantiates the benefits of taking a family health history and the use of genetic and genomic tests to identify risk factors, diagnose disease, and guide the use of screening tests and treatment options. If a family history does not suggest the presence of genomic and genomic risk factors, genetic testing is not indicated. C) Research substantiates the benefits of taking a family health history and the use of genetic and genomic tests to identify risk factors, diagnose disease, and guide the use of screening tests and treatment options. Having a risk factor for a disease does not mean that the person will develop the disease. D) Although not all diseases have a genetic basis, genomics plays a role in 9 out of 10 of the leading causes of death, including heart dNiUseRaSsIeN,GcTaBnc .CeOr,Mstroke, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease. Genomics also plays a role in a variety of neuromuscular, immune, vision, and hearing disorders.
