A nurse researcher investigating treatment options to decrease the risk of developing hypertension should consider which genetic information?
1. The genes responsible for most hypertension have been identified through candidate gene studies.
2. Many of the genes responsible for familial hypertension are also responsible for essential hypertension.
3. Hypertension is the disease process that exemplifies how complete knowledge of genetic transmission can be used to control progression.
4. GWAS of hypertension identified numerous genetic foci not previously associated with hypertension.
4
Rationale 1: Genes for familial hypertension have been identified, but this is not the most common form of hypertension.
Rationale 2: Of the genes identified as involved in familial hypertension, only two were also associated with essential hypertension.
Rationale 3: There is still much to learn about the impact of genes on hypertension.
Rationale 4: GWAS of hypertension identified 14 genetic loci, 12 of which had not been previously linked to hypertension.

The female caregiver of a patient wears a scarf that covers her head and face when males enter the room. The nurse noted that male nurses were entering the room without notice to the caregiver. The nurse's best action would be to:
1. No intervention is needed by the nurse. 2. Place a sign on the door stating that all males must first knock and ask permission prior to entering the room. 3. Only allow female caregivers. 4. Only allow male caregivers.
