The nurse who is counseling a group of middle-school girls on pregnancy avoidance should include which statement?
1. "Although sexuality is common in the media, peer pressure to have sex is not an important factor."
2. "It has become far less acceptable to give birth during your teenage years than it used to be."
3. "Although condom use is growing, there is still an increasing rate of STDs among teens."
4. "You have learned enough from your friends and families to understand how pregnancy occurs."

Rationale 1: Images of sexuality are common in American society: in music lyrics and videos, in advertising, in television shows and movies. Peer pressure to have sex is also common, and is a strong influence on when a teen becomes sexually active.
Rationale 2: Society has become more accepting of teen pregnancy, and there is less of a stigma attached to being a young mother.
Rationale 3: Condom use is increasing, but the rate of STD infections, including HIV, is also rising.
Rationale 4: Formal education of the physiology of the body and conception will decrease the myths and misunderstandings that abound among teens and undereducated adults.
