The nurse is preparing an in-service presentation for a group of middle-school nurses
Which statements by the nurse would indicate that the nurse understood the role of culture in adolescent pregnancy? Note: Credit will be given only if all correct choices and no incorrect choices are selected. Select all that apply. 1. "Eighty-five percent of teen mothers are middle class, and give birth to gain adult status."
2. "Teens who have a lot of time without adult supervision are more sexually active."
3. "Teens of color are more likely to become pregnant."
4. "Young teens who have a child are more likely to have another while still a teen."
5. "Most pregnant teens do not have any relatives who had their first child as teens."
2,3,4
Rationale 1: When teens in poverty become pregnant, they are more likely to maintain the pregnancy and view the birth as a way to be seen as an adult. Middle-class teens seek abortion more often than do teens in poverty.
Rationale 2: Teens who spend more time without adult supervision are more likely to be sexually active and to become pregnant. Conversely, teens who participate in afterschool activities are less likely to be sexually active, and, therefore, have fewer pregnancies.
Rationale 3: In the United States, the adolescent birth rate is higher among African American and Hispanic teens than among white teens. To some degree, the higher teenage pregnancy rate in these groups reflects the impact of poverty, because a disproportionately higher number of African American and Hispanic youths live in poverty.
Rationale 4: When the first birth occurs in the early teen years, the next birth also is likely to occur prior to adulthood.
Rationale 5: Having a mother or a sister who had her first child during adolescence is a risk for a teen to become pregnant.
