The maternal risk factor of asthma is marked with green circles, and the paternal risk factors of diabetes are marked with purple triangles. A nurse should tell the proband (self) that these diseases can also be inherited in the family and, particularly at age 42, explain to the proband that these diseases can be inherited in the family. The nurse will need to determine proband risk factors and make recommendations for screening and changing behaviors if diabetes is present in the paternal line. The anamnesis of the mother should also contain the question regarding asthmatic disorders and also factors in the environment that can cause this disease and protective measures against it. The inclusion of pneumonia in the maternal grandfather’s history, while generally not hereditary, warrants further investigation into possible pre-existing lung conditions. This pedigree aimed to show the role of family health histories in suggesting genetic and environmental causes, and the concept of individualized care. Bennett et al. (2022) described pedigree as one of the most important tools used by medical geneticists and genetic counselors. References Bennett, R. L., French, K. S., Resta, R. G., & Austin, J. (2022).
