Pregnant client has been told their fetus has down syndrome


Problem: A pregnant client has been told their fetus has Down syndrome due to a translocation defect. The client tells the nurse, "I am so upset. I do not know how this happened. Can you explain how this is possible?" Which statement by the nurse is appropriate? "This defect occurs when the fetus' parents are relatives, making their genes incompatible for proper development." "You and the father have a chromosomal pattern that is exactly alike. This resulted in your infant having Down syndrome." "An additional chromosome was inherited because it was attached to a normal chromosome during fetal development." "Either you or the father is a carrier of Down syndrome and passed the chromosome to the fetus." Need Assignment Help?
