Genetics and Genomics Part II:
Now that you have genetics and genomic information about your patient, it is time to plan, implement
and evaluate and educational strategy for this patient.
a) Use the following chart to identify your patient red flags.
b) Develop a specific teaching strategy for this patient. The teaching strategy must address specific
health promotion activities (exercise, nutrition, environmental risk) as well as emotional support.
c) The education also includes referrals and testing if necessary.
d) Set a second meeting with the selected patient to discuss the results of the pedigree analysis.
e) Create a short video, communicating with the patient your findings (5 to 10 minutes).
f) Maintain the privacy of your patient by disguising his presence. Film you rather than the patient.
