ANS: D
A family history is a useful tool to help families know about their health risks and prevent disease in themselves and their close relatives. It is recommended that families develop a three generation history and update it on a regular basis. Completion of a family history will not decrease genetic susceptibility; rather it will make families more aware of what that susceptibility may be.
