  Which statement by the parents indicates that they understand the reason for the referral? 1. I think going to the genetics clinic will help us get over the loss of our baby.
  2. I'm afraid the genetics clinic will tell us we cannot have another baby.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale:
1. After the child has had dinner is an appropriate time for the parent to leave the child.
2. The parents are appropriate if they leave when they are tired.
3. Parents often believe that leaving while their children are asleep is better for their children. In actuality, when children do not expect their parents to be absent and they awaken to find their parents gone, they become anxious, and might even develop a lack of trust.
4. It is appropriate to leave when visiting hours are over.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: Although information can help the grieving process, it will not resolve it.
Rationale 2: The clinic will not decide whether the parents can or should have future pregnancies.
Rationale 3: The clinic cannot prevent the loss of another baby, but can assist the parents to understand why this baby died and the risks of it occurring again.
Rationale 4: The genetics clinic provides information based on genetic findings about the risks of future pregnancies.
