Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is a frustrating problem for both the patient and the clinician. The causes of RPL are diverse and may be associated with genetic, anatomic, microbiologic, endocrine, or immunologic factors. When a couple is ready for an evaluation, the nurse practitioner needs to be able to discuss possible causes, aspects of diagnostic testing, and available options. Reassurance and clear information about prognosis are important and emotional support must be offered throughout the investigation and subsequent pregnancy.
复发性流产（RPL）对患者和临床医生来说都是一个令人沮丧的问题。复发性流产的原因多种多样，可能与遗传、解剖、微生物、内分泌或免疫因素有关。当一对夫妇准备好进行评估时，执业护士需要能够讨论可能的原因、诊断测试的各个方面以及可用的选择。在整个调查过程以及随后的孕期中，给予 reassurance（此处可能是“安慰”之意，原文拼写有误，正确应为 reassurance）和关于预后的清晰信息很重要，并且必须提供情感支持。
