Rationale 1: Talking to the parents first is not necessary. Common issues that arise for adolescents should be discussed in general and not according to specific individuals.
Rationale 2: Teaching topics will be directed at both health promotion and health maintenance. A good starting point is to have the adolescent identify a personal health goal, and begin teaching there.
Rationale 3: It is not necessary for the nurse to ask the counselors at school for advice on health topics.
Rationale 4: Lecturing an adolescent group is not as effective as having an honest and open discussion with adequate time for questions.
