The nurse is seeing a 17-year-old female in the clinic for complaints of acne. The nurse plans on taking advantage of this teachable moment with the teen. What topics will the nurse include in the teen's teaching plan?
a. Smoking habits, folic acid intake, and heart disease
b. Hyperlipidemia, distracted driving, and menstrual history
c. Sexual activity, contraception, and screening for violence
d. Optimum weight, hypothyroidism, and sexually transmitted diseases
ANS: C
All the topics mentioned are worthy of discussion. However, sexual activity, contraception, and screening for violence have priority related to the age and gender of the patient. Because adolescents are often seen by a health care provider for various reasons before they become pregnant, counseling to improve health for a future pregnancy should be offered to them during any health care visit. Smoking cessation, attaining optimum weight, folic acid intake, and screening for violence are topics that should be discussed with all young women so that any future pregnancy has the most positive outcome.
