How Can Parents and Caregivers Be Involved in Risk Assessment?
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in the risk assessment process. They can:
Provide detailed family medical histories to healthcare providers. Ensure regular prenatal visits and follow recommended screening tests. Maintain a healthy lifestyle and avoid substances that could harm fetal development. Be informed about the potential signs and symptoms of neonatal disorders. Participate in decision-making and care planning for high-risk pregnancies and newborns.
