The nurse is providing education to a client with a neurocognitive development disorder. Which statement by the client requires further follow up by the nurse?
A) "The specific gene has been identified that caused my disorder."
B) "Maternal health can play a role in the development of disorders like mine."
C) "Sometimes copy error mutations occur and result in a disorder in cognition."
D) "The advanced age of my parents might have played a role in my condition."
A) "The specific gene has been identified that caused my disorder."
Explanation: A) A large body of evidence supports the role of genetics in the development of neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders, but the genes that are implicated and their degree of involvement vary widely among disorders, as well as among individuals.
B) A large body of evidence supports the role of genetics in the development of neurocognitive and neurodevelopmental disorders, but the genes that are implicated and their degree of involvement vary widely among disorders, as well as among individuals. Advanced paternal age plays a role in the development of disorders such as autism, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorders. However, this is not yet a link between maternal health and neurocognitive development disorder. This may be a result of copy error mutations that occur as spermatogonial cells replicate across years in the life of the adult male, resulting in de novo mutations that may increase the risk for gene mutations in children.
