Take a new continuing education (CE) tutorial developed by the Spina Bifida Association with cooperation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A 10 question pretest will help you to find out how much you know.
Continuing education credits will be offered for nurses and health educators, based on 1 hour of instruction. After taking this CE tutorial, you will be able to:

Discuss the folic acid recommendation.
Use the steps in folic acid counseling.
Use 1 minute of folic acid counseling during an interaction with a woman.
Identify women at risk for recurrence of spina bifida or another neural tube defect.

Taking folic acid prior to pregnancy can reduce the risk of neural tube defects like Spina Bifida by up to 70%. You owe it to your patients and to yourself to know everything about folic acid!
