A client has been diagnosed with an autosomal recessive disorder that developed in middle adulthood. No other people in his family have manifested the disorder. The client asks the nurse why he is affected and if his children are at risk. What would the nurse consider when formulating a reply?
Select all that apply.

Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected.

▸ The client's mother is a carrier of the disorder.

▸ The odds are high that at least one of the client's four younger siblings either is a carrier for the disease or will develop it in later life.

▸ The client's father is a carrier for the disorder.

▸ Because the disorder is recessive, the client's children have a 25% chance of having inherited it.

▸ All of the client's children are at least carriers of the disorder.
