The nurse is planning to teach a group of adolescents about what can happen when having unprotected sex. Which nursing action will allow effective communication with the group?
1. Offering personal opinions on the topic
2. Allowing for discussion among the participants
3. Lecturing on the topic for the allotted time without any discussion
4. Discussing sex education related to religious belief
2
Explanation:
1. Personal opinions will not carry much weight with a group of adolescents.
2. Whatever the setting, the nurse partners with the adolescent, the parents, and other persons, such as teachers or school counselors, to plan appropriate goals and related interventions. Appropriate interventions include applying communication skills effective with teens, such as listening to concerns, allowing for discussion, and bringing peers who have had experiences related to the topic being discussed.
3. Lecturing without discussion will not draw in the adolescent to the content.
4. Discussing sex education from a religious viewpoint is not appropriate.

"Deeper burns release more endorphins because of increased tissue damage, which lessens pain." 3.
