Parents of a child recently diagnosed with Down syndrome relate to the nurse that they “feel guilty about causing the condition.” The best response by the nurse is
1. “Down syndrome is a condition caused by an extra chromosome; the cause of it is unknown.”
2. “Down syndrome is a condition that is genetically transmitted from both the father and the mother.”
3. “Down syndrome is a condition that is carried on the X chromosome, so it came from the mother.”
4. “Down syndrome is caused by birth trauma, not by genetics.”
