Answer Section

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: B
Croskerry (2009) describes two major types of clinical diagnostic decision-making: intuitive and analytical. Intuitive decision-
making (similar to Augenblink decision-making) is based on the experience and intuition of the clinician and is less reliable and
paired with fairly common errors. In contrast, analytical decision-making is based on careful consideration and has greater
reliability with rare errors.

PTS: 1
2. ANS: D
To obtain adequate history, providers must be well organized, attentive to the patient’s verbal and nonverbal language, and able
to accurately interpret the patient’s responses to questions. Rather than reading into the patient’s statements, they clarify any
areas of uncertainty.

PTS: 1
3. ANS: C
Vital signs are part of the physical examination portion of patient assessment, not part of the health history.

PTS: 1
4. ANS: D
While performing the physical examination, the examiner must be able to differentiate between normal and abnormal findings,
recall knowledge of a range of conditions, including their associated signs and symptoms, recognize how certain conditions affect
the response to other conditions, and distinguish the relevance of varied abnormal findings.

PTS: 1
5. ANS: C
Sources for diagnostic statistics include textbooks, primary reports of research, and published meta-analyses. Another source of
statistics, the one that has been most widely used and available for application to the reasoning process, is the estimation based on
a provider’s experience, although these are rarely accurate. Over the past decade, the availability of evidence on which to base
clinical reasoning is improving, and there is an increasing expectation that clinical reasoning be based on scientific evidence.
Evidence-based statistics are also increasingly being used to develop resources to facilitate clinical decision-making.

PTS: 1
6. ANS: D
To assist in clinical decision-making, a number of evidence-based resources have been developed to assist the clinician.
Resources, such as algorithms and clinical practice guidelines, assist in clinical reasoning when properly applied.

PTS: 1
7. ANS: A
The sensitivity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of individuals with the target condition who show an abnormal, or positive,
result. A high sensitivity indicates that a greater percentage of persons with the given condition will have an abnormal result.

PTS: 1
8. ANS: B
The specificity of a diagnostic study is the percentage of normal, healthy individuals who have a normal result. The greater the
specificity, the greater the percentage of individuals who will have negative, or normal, results if they do not have the target
condition.

PTS: 1
9. ANS: A
The likelihood ratio is the probability that a positive test result will be associated with a person who has the target condition and a
negative result will be associated with a healthy person. A likelihood ratio above 1 indicates that a positive result is associated
with the disease; a likelihood ratio less than 1 indicates that a negative result is associated with an absence of the disease.

,PTS: 1
10. ANS: B
Clinical decision (or prediction) rules provide another support for clinical reasoning. Clinical decision rules are evidence-based
resources that provide probabilistic statements regarding the likelihood that a condition exists if certain variables are met with
regard to the prognosis of patients with specific findings. Decision rules use mathematical models and are specific to certain
situations, settings, and/or patient characteristics.

PTS: 1

Answer Section

MULTIPLE CHOICE

1. ANS: A
A critical first step in genomic assessment, including assessment of risk, is the use of family history. Family history is considered
the first genetic screen (Berry & Shooner 2004) and is a critical component of care because it reflects shared genetic
susceptibilities, shared environment, and common behaviors (Yoon, Scheuner, & Khoury 2003).

PTS: 1
2. ANS: D
A proband is defined as the affected individual who manifests symptoms of a particular condition through whom a family with a
genetic disorder is ascertained (Pagon et al. 1993–2013). The proband is the affected individual that brings the family to medical
attention.

PTS: 1
3. ANS: D
Autosomal dominant (AD) inheritance is a result of a gene mutation in one of the 22 autosomes.

PTS: 1
4. ANS: C
A consanguineous family is related by descent from a common ancestry and is defined as a “union between two individuals who
are related as second cousins or closer” (Hamamy 2012). Consanguinity, if present in the family history, is portrayed using two
horizontal lines to establish the relationship between the male and female partners.

PTS: 1
5. ANS: B
For adopted members of the family, use brackets as the appropriate standardized pedigree symbol ([e.g., brackets]).

PTS: 1
6. ANS: A

, Pedigrees associated with autosomal dominant (AD) disorders typically reveal multiple affected family members with the diseas e
or syndrome. When analyzing the pedigree for AD disorders or syndromes, it is common to see a “vertical” pattern denoting
several generations of affected members.

PTS: 1
7. ANS: C
In autosomal recessive (AR) disorders, the offspring inherits the condition by receiving one copy of the gene mutation from each
of the parents. Autosomal recessive disorders must be inherited through both parents (Nussbaum et al. 2007). Individuals who
have an AR disorder have two mutated genes, one on each locus of the chromosome. Parents of an affected person are called
carriers because each carries one copy of the mutation on one chromosome and a normal gene on the other chromosome. Carriers
typically are not affected by the disease.

PTS: 1
8. ANS: D
Individuals who have an AR disorder have two mutated genes, one on each allele of the chromosome. Parents of an affected
person are called carriers because each parent carries one copy of the mutation on one chromosome and a normal gene on the
other chromosome. Carriers typically are not affected by the disease. In pedigrees with an AR inheritance patterns, males and
females will be equally affected because the gene mutation is on an autosome.

PTS: 1
9. ANS: A
It is important that parents understand that if they both carry a mutation, the risk to each of their offspring (each pregnancy) is an
independent event: 25% disease free, 25% affected, and 50% carrier.

PTS: 1
10. ANS: B
Everyone born with an X-linked dominant disorder will be affected with the disease. Transmission of the disorder to the next
generation varies by gender, however. A woman will transmit the mutation to 50% of all her offspring (male or female).

PTS: 1
11. ANS: D
A man with an X-linked dominant disorder will transmit the mutation to 100% of his daughters (they receive his X chromosome)
and none of his sons (they receive his Y chromosome). The pedigree of a family with an X-linked dominant disorder would
reveal all the daughters and none of the sons affected with the disorder if the father has an X-linked disorder.

PTS: 1
12. ANS: C
An X-linked recessive disorder means that in a woman, both X chromosomes must have the mutation if she is to be affected.
Because males have only one copy of the X chromosome, they will be affected if their X chromosome carries the mutation.

PTS: 1
13. ANS: A
An individual with an abnormal number of chromosomes has a condition called aneuploidy, which is frequently associated with
mental problems or physical problems or both (Jorde, Carey, & Bamshad 2010; Nussbaum et al. 2007).

PTS: 1
14. ANS: B
Mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the ovum and, therefore, from the mother. The pedigree of a family with a mitochondrial
DNA disorder is unique in that all offspring (regardless of gender) of an affected female will have the disease, and none of the
offspring from an affected male will have the disease.

PTS: 1
15. ANS: C
Some individuals or couples have unique identifiable risks that should be discussed prior to conception whenever possible. For
example, women who will be 35 years of age or older at delivery (advanced maternal age) are at increased risk for aneuploidy.

PTS: 1
16. ANS: D
The majority of cancers are sporadic or multifactorial due to a combination of genetic and environmental factors; however,
approximately 5% to 10% of all cancers are due to a single-gene mutation (Garber & Offit 2005).
