Include the following:
Review instructor feedback from Part 1 and make all necessary revisions prior to beginning this assignment.
Explain how today’s health care policies influence how a patient can obtain genetic testing or subsequent screenings. How does policy influence the genetic disorder you selected?
Based on the genetic disorder you selected, discuss the societal, cultural, and environmental influences for the cause of this disease.
Discuss the process a patient may go through as it relates to the genetic disease selected. Consider including nutritional assessment and counseling as it relates to health, prevention, screening, diagnostics, prognostics, selection of treatment, and monitoring of treatment effectiveness.
What other preventative measures can be used to help prevent a genetic disorder from occurring? Discuss how the suggested preventative measures could potentially change the prevalence rates, testing, treatment, and prognosis.
