Question

Which of the following best explains the role of a genetic counselor?

Answer 1

- to order specific medical tests and prescribe medications
- to give clients information and recommend a course of action
- to develop family pedigrees and inform clients of possible options
- to provide psychological support and interpret the results of tests

Answer 2

Definitely not the first one. Not too many health professions can prescribe.
Most counselors are tasked with being supportive and sharing and explaining information.
Really the first part of B and the first part of D would be the best answer.
IT is probably D, but counselors probably don't actually interpret the tests, but rather share the results with the client.

Answer 3
