NCLEX RN Practice Question

Which statement best explains why screening clients for genetic predispositions to disease is an important component of preventive care?

  • A negative screening result eliminates the need for further health-promotion counseling for the client.

  • It guarantees that every person who carries a pathogenic variant will inevitably develop the associated disease.

  • It enables early interventions such as targeted surveillance, prophylactic treatment, or lifestyle changes that can reduce disease morbidity and mortality.

  • Screening is useful only after clinical signs and symptoms of the disease have appeared.
