Feedback
A If the hospital/clinic were within walking distance of the girl's home, it would
prevent the teen from missing appointments because of transportation problems.
B If the institution were open days, evenings, and Saturday by special arrangement,
this availability would be helpful for teens who work, go to school, or have other
time-of-day restrictions. Scheduling conflicts are a major barrier to health care.
C Whenever possible, the teen should be scheduled to see the same nurses and
practitioners for continuity of care.
D A negative attitude is unfortunate, because it discourages families that would
benefit most from consistent prenatal care.
