painful lump on the left side of her "bottom." She tells you she looked at it with a

A myriad of influencing factors can affect adolescent women in a positive or negative

and address them from a health promotion/prevention lens.
Today, Marie, a sixteen-year-old woman, arrives for a well-woman visit, hoping to
begin birth control since "all her friends are using it."
After a thorough history, you note that Marie resides in a community with very high
risk factors. These include poverty, violence, and lack of recreational facilities. She
tells you that she "hangs out" at a convenience store near the apartment complex
she lives at with her mother. "All the group hangs there," she reports proudly. She
shares that she has been menstruating for two years now although she has irregular
cycles. She also lets you know that she has had coitus only one time and that he
"pulled out." She does not want to get pregnant, and this i - ANSWER: CORRECT You
will assess all predisposing factors that lead to premarital sex and the negative
consequences, tell Marie to be careful, and prescribe birth-control pills.
CORRECT One by one, you will plan to carefully address the risks (red flags) in
Marie's history. Your goal will be to clarify and address misconceptions, as well as
share valuable sex education in a sensitive, nonjudgmental way. You will let her
know you are her advocate and are very protective of her health. Without preaching,
you want her to be aware of the negative possibilities of premarital, unprotected
sexual activities. You will also share a clear understanding of the risk of STIs with
Marie.
CORRECT After processing all of the history Marie has shared, you will write a
referral for psychiatric evaluation and tell her she needs ongoing counseling for her
behavior at such a young age and she likely needs to learn to cope within her
environment (home and community).
