A nursing instructor is preparing a class discussion on the benefits and drawbacks associated with genetic advances and the Human Genome Project. Which of the following would the instructor address as a potential problem?
A) Early detection possibilities
B) Risk profiling
C) Focus on causes
D) Rapid diagnosis
B
Feedback:
Although current and potential applications of the Human Genome Project to health care are numerous, risk profiling presents a potential problem. Risk profiling based on an individual's unique genetic makeup can be used to tailor prevention, treatment, and ongoing management of health conditions, but it will raise issues associated with client privacy and confidentiality related to workplace discrimination and access to health insurance. Early detection possibilities, focus on causes, and rapid diagnosis are benefits to the information gained from the Human Genome Project.
