In this episode of our Maternal-Newborn series, we break down Chapter 4, which focuses on the role of genetics in reproductive health. We’ll cover inheritance patterns, genetic counseling, screening, and how nurses can support childbearing families through complex, sensitive conversations. From chromosomal abnormalities to the ethical concerns surrounding testing, this episode helps nursing students understand how genetics connects to both prenatal care and family-centered support. It’s a vital listen for any nurse learning how to advocate and educate during pregnancy and preconception.
