1. What is the importance of doing Genetic Assessment to high risk pregnant clients
You might be able to learn specific details about the genetic makeup of you or your kid from a
genetic study. The Genetic abnormalities (mutations) that may be the cause of your disease or
condition can be found using this study. Greiner asserts that the majority of pregnant women
undergo prenatal genetic testing to determine their risk. They would prefer to learn the truth while
pregnant than after the baby is born so they can plan ahead and make decisions. Genetic testing is
recommended for high-risk pregnant women so they are informed of their higher risk of giving birth
to a child with a genetic condition. Therefore, understanding or being aware of the fact that women
are more likely to become pregnant with a child who has a genetic problem may aid in their mental
and practical preparation. If the woman is given a correct diagnosis, effective therapy may be used
to provide her with a better opportunity to receive support. In order to ascertain the possibility that
their unborn child will have one or more of these potential disorders, women are frequently offered
a variety of genetic testing during their first and second trimesters of pregnancy, especially high-risk
pregnant clients.
