Answer:

The answer is A, B, C and E.

Explanation:

Genetic counselors are responsible for recommending genetic testing according to the need of the patient and then guiding them through the process and helping with their decision after interpreting the genetic test results.

Out of the given options in the question, D does not apply to the given statement that if a genetic counselor recommends a genetic test or not because wanting to increase an unborn child's intelligence is unethical and is in the field of genetic engineering which is not approved.

The examples given in the options A, B, C and E are all examples of people that are seeking treatment for themselves either for curing a disease or preventing it and in those cases, the genetic counselor can recommend a genetic test.

I hope this answer helps.

Answer:

A, B, C & E.

Explanation:

The genetic counseling that a genetic counselor gives aims to provide the family with complete and accurate information about genetic disorders. These information do the following

• Promotes informed decisions by the family members involved

• Clarifies the family's options of available treatment and prognosis of the subject

• Explains alternatives that is available to reduce the risk of genetic disorders

• Decreases the incidence of genetic disorders

• Reduces the impact of the disorders.

The question above seeks to know appropriate scenarios when a genetic counseling comes in handy.

The following are the types of genetic screening to help guide us in choosing the right answer.

• Carrier identification

• Prenatal diagnosis

• Newborn screening

• Forensic screening (paternity test)

The options in the questions about all seem appropriate except for option D.

The parents of an unborn child wanted to increase their child's intelligence genetically is bizarre and not appropriate ethically. It also doesn't fit into the aim and goal of genetic counseling.
