Jazmine Smith is a CMA (AAMA) certified medical assistant who works at an obstetrics and gynecology practice. She works with prenatal visit patients. The next patient is a 29-year-old multigravida in the 16th week of pregnancy for whom the physician has ordered an alfa-fetoprotein test during the same week. After taking her blood pressure, the patient looks anxious and Jazmine asks if she has any questions while she waits for the physician. The patient states that she is nervous because she had preeclampsia during her previous pregnancy, but also because she is curious about the test the doctor ordered. What can Jazmine explain about the test? What is the alfa-fetoprotein? What diseases of the fetus can be diagnosed with the test? What is the difference between preeclampsia and eclampsia? What kind of patient education recommendations can Jazmine give to this patient after this visit knowing that she had preeclampsia during the previous pregnancy?
