Which approach to planning educational activities is best suited to a group of pregnant adolescents?
1. Primarily using audio-based presentations during teaching
2. Avoiding the inclusion of handouts with bulleted items and white space as part of the teaching
3. Combining teaching for adolescent mothers of all ages as one group
4. Respecting confidentiality and building trust by avoiding the topics of drug and alcohol abuse
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Many teens prefer teaching aids that are visual and that they can handle, such as realistic fetal models.
Rationale 2: Some pregnant teens have low reading levels and tend to prefer handouts and posters that have visual interest, short sentences, bulleted items, and white space.
Rationale 3: Teaching adolescents in groups according to their ages may be more effective for learning because younger adolescent mothers' parenting skills and emotional needs may differ from those of older adolescent mothers.
Rationale 4: The nurse should review the risks associated with the use of tobacco, caffeine, drugs, and alcohol, as well as discussing the fetal effects of these substances.
