CASE STUDY
The family of 70 year old Mr. B came to the NP to discuss a recent discovery that Mr. B has Huntingtons disease. Mr. B has had tremors for many years, which were thought to be due to prior alcohol use. Recently he has deteriorated significantly both physically and cognitively. He was evaluated by a neurologist who did testing and discovered that he actually has Huntingtons Disease and his father and brother most likely died of this as well. Mr. B has 7 children: 3 boys and 4 girls, and 8 grandchildren. The family has many questions for the NP. Answer the following questions fully using professional references to support your responses.
