The modifiable risk factor that is “Ectopic Pregnancy” This is a power point. Directions should be followed exactly! Please include health people 2020  (http://healthypeople.gov)  As a reference. Patient’s initials is PB.  Any questions please ask. 

Ectopic pregnancy is a condition where the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube. This condition can be life-threatening and is a modifiable risk factor. There are several ways to reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy, such as:

1. Preventing sexually transmitted infections (STIs): STIs, particularly chlamydia and gonorrhea, increase the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Practicing safe sex and getting tested regularly can help prevent STIs.
2. Avoiding smoking: Smoking increases the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Quitting smoking can help reduce the risk.
3. Using contraception: Unplanned pregnancies are more likely to result in ectopic pregnancy. Using contraception can help prevent unplanned pregnancies.
4. Getting early prenatal care: Early prenatal care can help detect ectopic pregnancy early and prevent complications.

The Healthy People 2020 initiative has set a goal of reducing the rate of ectopic pregnancy by increasing awareness and promoting healthy behaviors. By educating individuals on the modifiable risk factors and promoting healthy behaviors, the incidence of ectopic pregnancy can be reduced.
