Correct Answer: 1, 2, 5
Known genetic conditions, multiple family members with the same disease, and multiple pregnancy losses would raise a red flag with the nurse. Early age of disease onset, not late age, would raise a red flag with the nurse. Sudden death, not death from a chronic disease, would raise a red flag with the nurse.
