A 16-year-old patient goes to the clinic for a pregnancy test. The nurse tells her, "I'm sorry honey, the result is positive. You're pregnant.". What assumption is the nurse making about the patient?
The nurse assumes that the result will disappoint the patient or that the pregnancy is "bad news.". In fact, some teens intentionally choose to become pregnant. The nurse may be projecting her own feelings about teen pregnancy onto the patient instead of allowing the patient to express her own reaction to the test results.
