Solve the following Genetics Problems

1. In mice the autosomal genotype yy is for gray fur, YY is for brown fur and Yy is for yellow fur. What is the ratio of offspring from the cross between a brown mouse and a yellow mouse?
2. ABO blood groups, an autosomal trait, in Humans are genetically determined. A woman with type O blood has a son with type O.

What are the possible genotype(s) of the son, his mother and possible father?

                Mother:

Father:

                Son:

3. A couple is concerned that their son may inherit the bleeding disorder hemophilia. This condition is caused by a recessive allele on the X-chromosome. The wife is a carrier for this condition, while the husband has hemophilia.

   What are the genotypes of this couple?

   What is the probability of the couple having a son who is a hemophiliac?

3. What are all the options for Mr. and Mrs. Smith as they age?

Question 2

Mark this question

Why did the Committee of Merchants for the Relief of Colored People Suffering from the Late Riots emphasize that Peter Heuston's "wife died about three weeks before the riots, leaving with her husband an only child... aged eight years"?

• They wanted people to realize that racial minorities were already victims of oppression before the riots began.

• They wanted rioters to take responsibility for the damage they caused by raising the children who were orphans because of the riots.

• They wanted to show the pain the rioters caused for the now-orphaned child, who had only recently lost her mother.

• They wanted to show that Native Americans were subject to the same kinds of treatment as African Americans.

MG is a 27-year-old graduate student, recently married, who comes into the student health clinic for a routine pelvic test and Pap smear. During the course of the check-up, the gynecology resident performing the test obtains the Pap smear, but also obtains cervical cultures for gonorrhea and chlamydia. The examination concludes uneventfully. Several weeks later, MG receives a postcard indicating that the Pap smear was normal, with no evidence of dysplasia, but that the cervical culture for gonorrhea was positive. The card instructs her to come into the clinic to discuss treatment, and that "public health authorities" have been notified for contact tracing, which refers to the identification and diagnosis of sexual partners, as required by law. The young woman is terrified that her husband will be contacted.

Is contact tracing ethically justified?

Case Scenario:

Ruba is a 39 years old, pregnant woman at 8 weeks gestation, and her husband, Ali, is 50 years old, arrives at antenatal clinic for follow-up. The couples have been married for 12 years. Ruba completes the initial paperwork, and the nurse notes the following obstetric history: G6 T0 P0 A5 L0 M0. Ruba and Ali asked the nurse many questions regarding Down syndrome as Ali’s sister, recently, has a boy with Down syndrome.

Q1:What are the 5 questions in the history taking are the highest priority for the nurse to ask, given Ruba’s obstetric history?

Q2:What are the initial prenatal assessment and screening tests would the nurse anticipate for Ruba at this antenatal visit?

CASE SCENARIO:

An 80 year-old woman fell in her home. She is evaluated in the emergency room and is found to have a hip fracture. She was recently started with hydrocholorothiazide to treat her hypertension. She has been on an SSRI for depression following the loss of her husband and is taking NSAIDs for pain associated with osteoarthritis. Her vitals are stable. She is lethargic and disoriented but otherwise appears well. Laboratory works reveals Na – 105 mEq/L, K – 3.2 mEq/L, BUN – 32 mg/dL, Creatinine – 1.0 mg/dL.

1. Develop a Nursing care plan (ADPIRE, Assessment, Diagnosis, Planning-short term and long term goal, Intervention-Rationale, Evaluation) for this patient based on the scenario

You are a nurse in a general practice whose current patient is visiting the physician to report her inability to fall asleep or stay asleep five out of seven nights per week. She describes that her husband is an over-the-road trucker and is home about 10 days per month. They have four kids, three in high school, and she works full time as a stockbroker.
