SCI 201 Unlocking the Secrets of Science and Innovation Assignment -

ASSIGNMENT SCENARIO - Healthcare professionals often use medical handouts to teach patients about their health.

You work as an assistant at a breast cancer research center where doctors often order genetic tests for patients who don't know much about genetic testing. Your manager has asked you to write a medical handout that gives patients an overview of clinical genetic testing to assess breast cancer risk.

Because the purpose of your handout is to inform patients of both the risks and the benefits of clinical genetic testing, it's important that your document presents accurate and relevant information. The handout is not meant to persuade readers or offer specific advice; rather, the organization wants to provide the relevant information so patients can make informed decisions for themselves.

Article - The Washington Post

DNA Tests Grow More Vital in Hereditary Breast Cancer Treatments. They Also Raise Unanswerable Questions.

By Sarah Elizabeth Richards

1. What Is Genetic Testing?

Using information from the article on this page as well as what you've learned in the webtext over the past three weeks, explain genetic testing. (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)

2. Explain how the test is implemented. In other words, what will the patient need to provide for the test? (Your response should be 1-2 sentences.)

3. Benefits

Explain why some clinicians think genetic testing might be valuable for treating patients diagnosed with, or at risk for, breast cancer. (Your response should be 4-8 sentences.)

4. Risks

Now explain what the drawbacks are for those who opt to have genetic testing. What bad news or discomfort are they likely to experience? (Your response should be 4-8 sentences.)

5. This section of your handout will appear as a subsection of the Benefits section you drafted on the previous page.

To connect information about this study to the overview of benefits you already drafted, use information from the study summary to explain how mastectomies can be an early treatment option to prevent breast cancer in those who are found to have a higher risk based on genetic testing results. (Your response should be 4-5 sentences.)

6. Describe the study and how data was collected for it. (Your response should be 2-3 sentences.)

7. Summarize the results of the study and the conclusions made by the researchers. (Your response should be 2-3 sentences.)

8. Identify a limitation of this study found by the researchers. (Your response should be 2-3 sentences.)

9. Conclusion

Highlight the key takeaways of the handout for your readers. (Your response should be 3-4 sentences.)

Note - Need 500 words paper + title page + references with in-text citations. Give answers of all 9 questions.
