PPM - Genetic Counseling for Prenatal Diagnostic Testing-Checklist

Checklist

Pdf Summary

This checklist outlines the key points that should be addressed during genetic counseling for prenatal diagnostic testing. It includes ensuring that the indication for counseling is documented, reviewing the patient and family history, documenting the gestational age, assessing the risk of aneuploidy, noting relevant genetic history, discussing diagnostic testing options and their implications, and ensuring that the patient's decision regarding the procedure is documented. If the patient elects for diagnostic testing, appropriate consents should be signed, and post-procedure instructions should be provided. Results of the testing should be conveyed to the patient and documented, and any concerns related to the pregnancy in light of the results should also be addressed.
