Patient diagnosed with marfans syndrome


Problem: The mother of a 15-year-old male patient presents to the NPs office stating her son has recently been diagnosed with Marfan's syndrome. She is upset because she was never told about this diagnosis when he was born and while growing up. She has many questions for the NP: a) Was this inherited from their families? b) What are the possible causes for this diagnosis? c) What is the risk of their other children having Marfan's syndrome because several people told her that people with Marfan's syndrome will have children with Marfan's syndrome. d) The parents ask the NP about the health and cognitive problems their child will have and the life expectancy for those diagnosed with Marfan's syndrome. e) What are the major ethical issues the NP must consider when working with this family?
