Nursing Considerations for Hemophilia The article being presented is titled What every nurse should know about hemophilia and was written by Denise Hitch, BSN, RN. This article does a wonderful job summarizing the genetic factors leading to hemophilia, the varying types and severities of hemophilia, manifestations of the disease, and considerations nursing staff should take while caring for a patient with hemophilia. Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive genetic mutation. Beginning from conception, a patient with hemophilia will be given one of two X chromosomes from their mother. When they are given the X chromosome with a mutated gene for hemophilia and are female, they will have one functioning clotting gene and will have little to no manifestations of hemophilia.

“Every woman of childbearing age should be assessed for pregnancy risk by inquiring about menstrual history, heterosexual activity, and contraceptive use and tested for pregnancy, as appropriate, to enable the provision of adequate perinatal care and abortion services” (American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2011, para. 3). If someone should come back as being pregnant, their medical care should follow the specific course of action of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Incarcerated women who choose to continue on with the pregnancy should have access to regularly scheduled, unscheduled, or emergency OBYGN visits on a twenty-four hour basis. If incarcerate pregnant women are need of medically necessary, specialized care that is not available at the correctional facility, access should be granted of such care at a subsidiary medical facility with suitable expertise.
