The nurse teaches families about recognizing signs of dating violence in their teenage children. Which participant statement indicates that teaching about safe sexual practices has been effective?
A) "Our son has a new girlfriend."
B) "Our daughter has come home with the odor of alcohol on her breath."
C) "We taught our children about dating violence when they were 6 years old."
D) "We noticed our daughter seems very happy lately."
Answer: B
When teaching parents to suspect unsafe sexual practices in teens, the nurse emphasizes that the children should be monitored for substance abuse as a new behavior. This does not necessarily mean there is dating violence, but it can be a sign if this is a new behavior. The daughter experiencing dating violence is more apt to show signs of depression and possible suicidal behavior. If a child has a new boyfriend or girlfriend, the parents are taught to meet the child's friends; it is not a sign of dating violence for the child to have a new girlfriend. Six-year-olds are too young for a discussion regarding dating violence.
