Answer 1

1.The Human Genome Project succeeded in mapping the human _______ sequence.

*True

*The Human Genome Project (HGP) was declared complete in April 2003. An initial rough draft of the human genome was available in June 2000 and by February 2001 a working draft had been completed and published followed by the final sequencing mapping of the human genome on April 14, 2003

*The shotgun phase of the Human Genome Project itself consisted of three steps: Obtaining a DNA clone to sequence. Sequencing the DNA clone. Assembling sequence data from multiple clones to determine overlap and establish a contiguous sequence.

2.The conscience clause a federal law.

*True

*Conscience clauses are legal clauses attached to laws in some parts of the United States and other countries which permit pharmacists, physicians, and/or other providers of health care not to provide certain medical services for reasons of religion or conscience.

*Federal statutes protect health care provider conscience rights and prohibit recipients of certain federal funds from discriminating against health care providers who refuse to participate in these services based on moral objections or religious beliefs.

3.What specific law does not allow employers to use genetic information to discriminate against employees or applicants applying for jobs?

*Title II of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) protects individuals against employment discrimination on the basis of genetic information. GINA covers employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments.

*Under Title II of GINA, it is illegal to discriminate against employees or applicants because of genetic information.

4.Select all factors from the list that according to Chapter 9, would be considered when matching organ donations with recipients.

*HEALTH ,AGE, GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION, SIZE OF DONOR AND RECEPIENT, matters

*The factors used in matching include blood type, time spent waiting, other important medical information, how sick the person is, and geographic location. Race, income, and celebrity are NEVER considered.

*Other include

• Blood type
• Body size
• Severity of patient's medical condition
• Distance between the donor's hospital and the patient's hospital
• The patient's waiting time
• Whether the patient is available (for example, whether the patient can be contacted and has no current infection or other temporary reason that transplant cannot take place)

5.The _____________________________________ states the patients have the right to choose whether to participate or not participate in research studies.

*a)Patient Bill of Rights

*Many states have additional laws protecting patients, and health care facilities often have a patient bill of rights. An important patient right is informed consent. This means that if you need a treatment, your health care provider must give you the information you need to make a decision
