Problem:
A male client is seeking paternity testing related to a one-year-old blue-eyed blond child. The client states his entire family has brown hair and brown eyes as does the child's biological mother so is skeptical he could be the father. How should the nurse respond? Want Assignment Help? "Often hair and eye color change as a child grows, so the child may not stay blond and blue-eyed." "Because having blue eyes is a dominant trait, it will present if even one parent carries this gene." "Brown eye color is dominant, so it is possible both you and the mother carry the genes for blue eyes." "Both eye color and hair color has complex inheritance patterns, so your assumption is misguided."
