The community health nurse is preparing a presentation concerning the sexual health of adolescent females. The objectives of Healthy People 2020 are being used as guidelines

When planning this presentation, which information will the nurse plan to include?
1. Increase the number of teens who are using oral contraceptives.
2. Increase the number of teens who utilize relationship-counseling services.
3. Increase the number of teens who are tested for HIV.
4. Increase the number of teens who understand their reproductive functions.


Correct Answer: 3
The goals of Healthy People 2020 seek to increase the proportion of adolescents who abstain from sexual intercourse or use condoms if sexually active and to increase the percentage of adolescents who have been tested for HIV. There are no provisions to dictate the use of oral contraceptives. Relationship counseling services are not included in the Healthy People 2020 objectives. The understanding of reproductive functions is not a direct objective of Healthy People 2020.
