The nurse is supervising a student nurse who is working with a 14-year-old client who delivered her first child yesterday. Which statement indicates that the nursing student needs additional information before caring for this client?
1. "Because of her age, this client will need less teaching because she will have gotten the right information in school."
2. "Because of her age, this client will require less frequent fundal checks to assess for postpartal hemorrhage."
3. "Because of her age, this client will probably need extra teaching about the terminology for her anatomy."
4. "Because of her age, this client will need to have her grandmother provide daycare and help raise the baby."
3
Rationale:
1. Public or private education likely will not cover the extent of the information that the adolescent needs to know about her body.
2. The physiologic needs of an adolescent after delivery are the same as for an adult.
3. Additional teaching is often necessary due to the developmental level of the client, especially about terminology, anatomy, and physiology.
4. Although the client will require daycare to continue with her education, the assistance does not have to come from the client's grandmother.
