Ans: A
Feedback: Nursing assessment of the patient's health includes obtaining and recording family history information in the form of a pedigree. This is a first step in establishing the pattern of inheritance. The other answers are incorrect because the pedigree is the nursing assessment. A nursing assessment of a family history does not answer the patient's genetic questions or the families' relationship questions.
