The nurse is taking a history on a new patient in the clinic. She determines from talking with the patient that she is recently divorced, is dating, and has had sex with various men
The nurse would be concerned about and hopefully provide some education on what issues? 1. The ethics of dating and having sex with more than one man
2. The patient having some kind of permanent birth control done, so she does not become pregnant
3. Education about sexual activity and sexually transmitted infections
4. Referral to a psychologist or counselor for follow-up on the multiple dating
3
Rationale 1: The ethics of the situation are not the concern of the nurse.
Rationale 2: Whether the patient wishes to use or is using birth control or wants something permanent will be the patient's choice.
Rationale 3: This is correct, since it has been determined that the patient is having sex with multiple partners.
Rationale 4: There is no reason at this time to refer the patient for any type of counseling.
