The nurse is asking the client about the health of her parents, siblings, and grandparents. This is part of the health history and is done for what reason?

A. To establish personal rapport with the client: While rapport is important, the primary purpose of asking about family health history is not to build a personal connection. B. To identify diseases for which the client may be at risk: Family health history helps identify genetic or hereditary conditions that may increase the client’s risk for certain diseases. C. To assess the client's quality of life: Family health history does not directly assess the client’s quality of life but rather their risk for specific conditions. D. To get to know the client better: Although understanding family history can help in getting to know the client’s health context, the primary purpose is to assess risk factors.
