Health Promotion: Prevention of Disease

Case Study Module 8
Instructions: Read the following case study and answer the reflective questions. Provide evidence–based rationales for your answers. APA, 7th ed. must be followed.

Active Labor: Susan Wong
Mrs. Wong, a first–time mother, is admitted to the birthing suite in early labor after spontaneous rupture of membranes at home. She is at 38 weeks of gestation with a history of abnormal alpha–fetoprotein levels at 16 weeks of pregnancy.
She was scheduled for ultrasonography to visualize the fetus to rule out an open spinal defect or Down syndrome, but never followed through. Mrs. Wong and her husband disagreed about what to do (keep or terminate the pregnancy) if the ultrasonography indicated a spinal problem, so they felt they did not want this information.
