Rationale 1: The nurse should act as a liaison between the family and genetic counselor. Rationale 2: After a follow-up visit, the family may return to the genetic counselor to ask questions and express concerns, especially if the couple is considering having more children, or if siblings want information about their affected brother or sister. Rationale 3: Upon completion of genetic counseling, the genetic counselor sends the parent(s) and their certified nursemidwife or physician a letter detailing the contents of the sessions. Rationale 4: After the initial genetic counseling session, a follow-up visit is scheduled in order for the genetic counselor to provide the parents with all available information and offer additional counseling. |
