A patient with a parent that has polycystic kidney disease does not want to have
genetic testing done for polycystic kidney disease because they are worried that
health insurance will be discontinued if genetic abnormalities are found. Based
on the nurse’s knowledge of the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
(GINA), what should the nurse teach this patient?


GINA should protect her from this happening.

GINA health coverage nondiscrimination protection also
extends to life insurance. GINA will only protect her after she is
diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease.
GINA does not extend to cover preexisting conditions.

GINA prohibits discrimination in health care coverage and employment based on
genetic information but does not extend to life insurance, disability insurance, or
long-term care insurance.

The daughter has a 50% chance of being affected.


If the mother is a carrier, the patient could have
hemophilia. Daughters of affected males will be
carriers.
Because hemophilia is an X-linked recessive genetic disorder, hemophilia results
from a mutated gene on an X chromosome. Whereas mothers always contribute
an X chromosome to their offspring, fathers contribute X to their female children
and Y to their male children. If the mother is a carrier, there is a 25% chance that
the daughter could have hemophilia and a 25% chance that she will be a carrier.
If the mother is not a carrier, the daughter in this case will have a 50% chance of
being a carrier from her father’s affected X chromosome.
