Written Assignment-This week you will complete a genetic/genomic nursing assessment using the information found in the text on page 224 Box 8-7 in the 6th edition OR page 198, Box 7-7 in the 5th edition. You will not create a family tree; instead, write out the assignment in APA format and address the items in box 8-7 or 7-7. The paper will cover each of the topics outlined in the assignment instructions and must include the following:
Identify 3 generations of one family (male/female, age, role in the family such as son/daughter, father/mother, and grandmother/grandfather). In most cases there should be a total of 6 individuals covered in this assignment (mother and father, grandmother and grandfather, child(ren)). If both individuals of each generation are not covered, points will be deducted. In the event that there is only 1 child, that will be accepted
