Solution Manual for Genetics and Genomics for Nursing - Page 1 preview imageKenner/Lewis:Genetics and Genomics for Nursing,1eChapter 1: Genetics and Genomics: Definitions and TrendsCase StudyQuestionsGenetic Biomarker (GB) testing is becoming more popular as the cost and relevancy ofpharmacogenomics testing becomes better known and easily applicable to clinical practice. A sitereferencing required, recommended, or for information only testing is available on the FDA websiteat www.fda.gov/Drugs/ScienceResearch/ResearchAreas/Pharmacogenetics/ucm083378.htm. Thiswill assist in answering the following questions:A registered nurse is assigned to care for three patients who are receiving medications that areknown to be associated with genetic traits or GB(s) that could alter the effect of the drug. Identify ifthe GB has required, recommended, or for information only status for testing.This activity contains 3 questions.1.L.L. is a 52-year-old Caucasian female being treated with Herceptin for her recently diagnosedher2/neu positive breast cancer.Answer:Required. The breast cancer tumor must be tested for the presence of the her2/neureceptor in order to receive Herceptin.2.R.N. is a 62-year-old male with a new diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis and has beenprescribed Celebrex 200mg b.i.d.Answers:Recommended if PM status suspected. Poor metabolizers (PM) of Celebrex should havedosage reduced by 50%. If this patient is a PM the dose should be reduced to 100mg b.i.d. andmonitored for side effects.www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2011/020998s033,021156s003lbl.pdf3.M.G. is a 26-year-old Ethiopian new mom who delivered her first child by a caesarean section.She was prescribed codeine 30mg p.o. and is breastfeeding her newborn.Answers: Because of her Ethiopian ancestry, M.G. could be an Ultra-rapid metabolizer and shouldreceive a non-codeine analgesic.www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2012/022402s003lbl.pdf

Jim is inseemingly good health for his age. While you are taking his family medical history, Jim mentions thathe is having tremors in his hands and it is becoming increasingly annoying to him when he tries towrite or drink coffee. When asked if there is a family history of Parkinson’s disease, Jim says hedoesn’t know. Jim wants to know how he will know if he has Parkinson’s and what types oftreatment are available.This activity contains 3 questions.1.Ask Jim some questions to further evaluate the tremors that he is having.Suggested Answer: Examples of questions to ask are:Do you have tremors in your hands when you are resting?Have you or your family noticed changes in the way you move, walk?Have you had changes in your bowel movements, such as diarrhea or constipation?2.Please let Jim know what types of testing are available for Parkinson’s and what types oftreatment are recommended.Suggested Answer: There are no diagnostic tests that specifically identify Parkinson’s disease. Jimwill be referred to a neurologist for further evaluation. There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease, butthe progression of symptoms can be delayed based on individual response. Some of the commontreatments are Carbidopa/Levodopa therapy, Dopamine agonists, Anticholinergics, or MAO-Binhibitors.After further evaluation, Jim returns for a follow-up appointment. His neurologist has sent overnotes that suggest that he does have Parkinsonian symptoms. Jim realizes that this is a progressivedisease and expresses that he is an advocate for scientific research and wants to know if any clinicaltrials are available that he could participate in. Jim is a talkative man and also indicates that he is anorgan donor and begins wondering if there are any organ donation programs specific for people withParkinson’s disease, so that he can make preparations for his family.

(You may find thefollowing websites helpful: www.clinicaltrials.gov or www.intbbn.org/registry-of-brain-banks.aspx).Suggested Answer: The answer should include a clinical trial either at a local facility or from thewebsite provided and the listing of an organ donation program or brain bank.
