Question 1 Newborn screening reveals that newborn Jessica has inherited phenylketonuria (PKU). Her parents are distraught at the diagnosis, but a nutritionist explains that Jessica can be treated, right away. The treatment for PKU is heritable gene therapy. nonheritable gene therapy. exchange of her blood supply. dietary.

Question 4 Approximately10% of children in the U.S. are predicted to have a poor metabolizer (PM) phenotype for the medication morphine. True False Question 5 Nurses are key to bridging the gaps and moving knowledge forward to help patients with regard to genetics and genomics.

Question 8 Maxwell needs to take an anti-depressant drug. He enrolls in a clinical trial to detect genetic variants and gene expression profiles associated with response to various drugs. This approach to selecting a therapeutic drug is called pharmacogenetics. pharmacogenomics. pharmacology. recombinant DNA technology. Question 9 One of the first applications of pharmacogenetics in prescribing drugs is for warfarin, a blood thinner. Accutane, an acne drug. a narcotic to treat chronic pain. an early pregnancy test kit. Question 10 Unlike cholesterol checks and chest x-rays, the results of genetic tests may have repercussions to family members who share genotypes that can affect health. True False
