A 17-year-old female presents at a nurse practitioner's office and requests a signature for work papers. The nurse reviews her chart and notes that the last physical examination was within the year

In addition to providing the signature for the work papers, the nurse should use this visit as: 1. A time to discuss exercise and sports participation.
2. A health supervision opportunity.
3. An opportunity to discuss birth control measures.
4. A chance to discuss the importance of pursuing postsecondary education.

Rationale 3: While discussing birth control measures is important, it is only a small portion of the health supervision requirements.
Rationale 4: Discussing future educational plans is important, but these can be included in the overall health supervision protocols.
