AMBIVALENT ABOUT TRYING TO CONCEIVE |
These health factors support reproductive planning and implement improvement projects around preconception care. This drives education and interventions such as folate intake, counseling and selection of contraception, and tobacco use cessation interventions to improve healthier pregnancies and reduce unwanted pregnancies. |
The patient is not sure if they want to become pregnant if female, or father a child if male, or not in the next year. |

BARRIERS TO LEARNING |
F120 |
COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT |
Barriers to learning are patient specific. They usually are not visit specific, but rather relate to the patient's overall health status. Assess barriers by observation and interview, and then document them to alert other healthcare providers who may provide education. It is important to accommodate and overcome barriers to enhance patient learning. Assess barriers annually or any time the situation warrents assessment.
1. Observe and question the patient for any barriers to learning.
a.Visually Impaired - The patient may divert the eyes, squint, or state his or her difficulty seeing.
b.Blind - The patient may divert the eyes, wear sunglasses inside, state his or her inability to see, or is diagnosed with blindness (best corrected vision is =20/200 or =20 degrees of visual field in the better eye).
c.Hard of Hearing - The patient may not respond to questions initially and may ask for things to be repeated, may speak loudly, bend ear or lean toward the speaker, or wear a hearing device.
d. Deaf - The patient may not respond to questions, may look intently at your lips as you speak, may motion to communicate by writing, may use sign language to indicate deafness, or may have a diagnosis of deafness.
e.Doesn't Read English - Ask the patient or the patient’s family about his or her ability to read English. The patient may be embarrassed to admit he or she cannot read English or may make excuses such as “I forgot my glasses.” This is a sensitive subject and must be treated accordingly. Stress “English” in this evaluation and acknowledge that the patient’s primary language may be unwritten. Another technique is to have the patient read a sentence that could be interpreted in different ways and ask the patient how he or she interprets the sentence. If the patient is unable, state that reading English can be hard for people who learned another language first and ask if this applies to him or her.
f.Speaks English as a Second Language - The patient speaks English fluently, but may have minor barriers due to differences in primary language.
g.Interpreter Needed - The patient may verbalize the need for an interpreter, answer questions inappropriately, or answer or nod “yes” to all questions. These actions could also imply hearing difficulty and may require further assessment.
h.Fine Motor Skills Deficit - The patient may have difficulty or lack the physical control to direct or manage body movement, such as paralysis, arthritis, amputation, unable to handle testing supplies (for example checking blood sugars or measuring medications).
i.Dementia - The patient may answer questions inappropriately, behave inappropriately, or display symptoms of confusion or forgetfulness. The patient may have a documented diagnosis of dementia.
j.Values or Beliefs - The patient may comment or be asked about values or beliefs in relation to health information or medical or clinical aspects of health care.
k.Stressors - The patient may appear distraught, avoid eye contact, or show anger. The emotional stressors may be acute or ongoing. e.g., personal issues (marital/relationship problems, unemployment/financial stress, lack of housing, problems with children/family members) or behavioral issues (mood, anxiety, grief). Emotional stressors are internal while social stressors are external.
l.Low Health Literacy - Assessment is made by a low score on a health literacy screening tool or observation.
m.Cognitive Impairment - The patient may be unable to give return demonstration, fails to understand simple information despite multiple attempts to teach, or has a diagnosis of cognitive impairment.
n.Developmental Delay - (DO NOT USE) The patient may behave younger than actual age.
o.Learning Disability - (DO NOT USE) The patient may comment about a learning disability or be diagnosed as such.
p.Childhood Development - (DO NOT USE) The pediatric patient is of an age or cognition level that he or she relies on others for care.
q.Less than 6th Grade Education - (DO NOT USE) Must assess by asking grade level completed.
r.Social Stressors - (DO NOT USE) The patient may appear distraught, avoid eye contact, or show anger. The stressors may be acute or ongoing, as in the case of conflict, mental disorders, disease, death, alcohol or substance abuse, or domestic violence. Social stressors are external while emotional stressors are internal.
