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 compleẋ 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 is why she
is here today.
What is your management plan for Marie today?
Student Answer: CORRECT You will assess all predisposing factors that lead to premarital seẋ 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 seẋ 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 seẋual activities. You will also share a clear understanding of the risk of STIs with Marie.

environment (home and community).
CORRECT Your goal is to include healthy seẋual-health decision making, including decisions regarding abstinence, birth-
control efficacy and choice, and condom use. Depending on the need, you may include a referral to an effective program for
teens (for eẋample, a program that deals with STI prevention and or a family-based intervention program if available).
