The nurse has to first ensure that polycystic kidney disease is hereditary and that they can pass it on to their offspring, the chance being 50%.

Step-by-step explanation:

They should also educate the patients about the various treatments that are available today, although there is no cure for the disease. There are only interventions that can slow the worsening of the renal disease, including adequate blood pressure control. We can expect, effective therapies in the near future.
