" The nurse tells the client which of the following? 1. There is evidence to suggest that genotype is not influenced by stress.
2. There is probably a shared stressful environment.
3. Mood disorders do seem to have some basis in heredity among other contributing factors.
4. There is no evidence to suggest a familial occurrence of mood disorders.
3
Rationale: Genetics account for approximately 42% of heritability in meta-analysis studies. Environment does influence phenotype, but several generations of women will not share the same environment. A familial occurrence of mood disorders is suggested by genetic heritability rates. Genotype is expressed through the interaction with the environment, which includes stress.
