Post by: Jay Cardio on Feb 6, 2018 A child with suspected Down syndrome has been born to 32-year-old parents. The parents ask the nurse how the diagnosis will be made and if there was a way that the diagnosis could have been made during the pregnancy.
The best response by the nurse is: 1. The baby's genes could have been tested during pregnancy by doing an amniocentesis. 2. The doctor will check the baby's genes by doing a 24-hour urine collection on your child. 3. Mom's blood could have been tested during the pregnancy to check for genetic problems with the baby. 4. A swab of the baby's cheek or a stool sample will be used to check your baby's chromosomes. Title: A child with suspected Down syndrome has been born to 32-year-old parents.
