A 38-year-old woman with no prior pregnancies calls the clinic to inquire about preconception counseling. Which element of early prenatal education should the nurse expect to facilitate?
1. Availability of prenatal and genetic testing
2. Birth choices
3. Infertility counseling
4. Nutrition classes
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Prenatal and genetic testing is incorporated among early prenatal classes, which often include pre-pregnant women. Due to maternal age, this woman is at increased risk for having a child with a chromosomal abnormality.
Rationale 2: Birth classes are incorporated into later classes; specifically, the second and third trimester.
Rationale 3: Infertility counseling is not incorporated within preconception counseling.
Rationale 4: Nutrition classes are incorporated among early prenatal education; however, due the woman's age, availability of prenatal and genetic testing is a higher priority.
