Question Answered step-by-step CASE SCENARIO: A 24-year-old gravida 1, para 1 is seen at a family… CASE SCENARIO:A 24-year-old gravida 1, para 1 is seen at a family planning office visit 2 years after the birth of her healthy child. She wants to stop her birth control pills and become pregnant again. Her second cousin has recently delivered a child with spina bifida. She wishes to know what she can do to prevent the lesion in her fetus. The evaluation consists of a good dietary history, especially for folic acid intake, and ascertainment of any additional environmental, genetic, familial, or medical risk factors for developmental lesions including neural tube defects. If her other risk factors are absent, her risk remains slightly increased for a neural tube defect in her fetus. In counseling her about her slightly increased risk for neural tube defects, she is educated about folic acid-containing foods, advised to start prenatal vitamins with 1 mg/day folic acid immediately, and wait at least 3 months off hormonal contraception before attempting pregnancy. If she had a first- or second-degree relative with a neural tube defect, she should consume 4 mg/day folic acid in addition to prenatal vitamins.CONSTRUCT A SOAPIE CHART (SUBJECTIVE, OBJECTIVE, ASSESSMENT, PLANNING, INTERVENTION, EVALUATION) Health Science Science Nursing NSG 335 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
