This question is about cystic fibrosis.
For each scenario choose the option that gives the best answer.
Each option can be used once, more than once or not at all.
And, to make you behave in a model fashion, there is no option list, so you have to decide the correct answer.

Her husband is Caucasian.
What is the risk of the child having cystic fibrosis?
Scenario 2.

He has been screened for cystic fibrosis. The test was negative.
