The nurse admits a female adolescent to the provider's office who has scheduled the appointment for completion of a health form that will allow the teen to participate in high school sports
The teen tells the nurse, "I want to obtain an athletic scholarship so I can go to college, and will do whatever it takes to be the best." The nurse interprets this statement as an indication for a discussion about: 1. Amenorrhea.
2. Anabolic steroid use.
3. Muscle conditioning.
4. Nutrition.

Rationale: While any female athlete should understand the importance of nutrition and proper conditioning of muscles, along with the risk of amenorrhea with extreme exercise, this client is saying she will do anything necessary to obtain an athletic scholarship, so it is important for the nurse to address the dangers associated with the use of anabolic steroids.
