The nurse is caring for a 15-year-old on the postpartum unit who is also being treated for a sexually transmitted disease
As part of the discharge planning, the nurse suggests that the client be referred to which of the following agencies after discharge? 1. A day care center to care for the baby
2. A home health care agency
3. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
4. Planned Parenthood
4
Rationale 1: The services of Planned Parenthood include offering education about sexually transmitted diseases, as well as confidential treatment regarding birth control without notifying the adolescent's family. The day care will offer no follow-up or educational information for the teen. The CDC is an agency that provides broad surveillance of many diseases but does not provide direct client care, and a home health care agency would provide nursing care for the mother and baby.
