A nurse is working with a young woman planning to become sexually active. She has the nursing diagnosis of knowledge deficit related to contraceptive choices. Which action by the patient would indicate that a priority goal has been met?
A.
Can describe how to use method chosen and its side effects
B.
Is able to choose the "best fit" from contraceptive choices
C.
Obtains the contraceptive method previously desired
D.
Willing and able to explain contraceptive method to partner
ANS: B
A woman often seeks contraception with a predetermined method in mind, which may or may not be the best "fit" for her lifestyle. Nurses should be able to explain the entire range of choices and help the woman find the method that will work best for her. Once the method is chosen, it is important to know how to use it properly and what the potential side effects are; however, this is not directly correlated to a knowledge deficit related to choices. The woman should be willing and able to explain the method to her partner once one is chosen.
