A nurse in the geriatric clinic says, "I thought genetics was used mostly in obstetrics and pediatrics." Which explanation would the nurse manager avoid?

▸ "We use genetics in geriatrics to make predictions about the health of our clients' unborn grandchildren."

▸ "Our clients can be very vulnerable to adverse effects from medication. Hopefully we can reduce some risk by looking at their genetic profiles."

▸ "We hope to find that genetic testing guides our choice of some nonpharmacologic interventions."

▸ "Genetic testing may help us identify which of our clients are most susceptible to the diseases associated with aging."
