The following clinical scenario contains (4) choose-between-two options: A 28-year-old mother arrives to your OB/GYN clinic to follow-up on her early trimester pregnancy. She has a history of one full term pregnancy, which resulted in the delivery of a boy born with a neural tube defect known as meningocele. Prior to her first pregnancy, the patient had a personal history of anorexia. Given this clinical picture, the patient’s first son likely had a condition known as (SCID / spina bifida). This condition likely resulted from a (folate / purine) deficiency in the patient’s diet. One clinical finding that can confirm your diagnosis is if the patient displays (megaloblastic anemia / Heinz bodies). To decrease the likelihood that her second child develops a similar condition, you should prescribe this patient a (pyrimidine replacement therapy / folate supplement).
