A high schoolage teen tells the school nurse that she wants to become pregnant. The most appropriate nursing action is to:
 
  1. Ignore the comment
  2. Tell the teen that she should not engage in sexual activity or get pregnant
  3. Call the teen's parents
  4. Provide preconceptual counseling and emphasize the need to achieve good health

Question 2

Uninsured individuals seek services on a sliding payment scale from such sources as public hospital clinics or from a variety of free clinics. What role do public health nurses play related to this? Public health nurses:
 
  1. Provide lifestyle changes for this vulnerable population
  2. Advocate for federal policy for this group
  3. Serve these populations by acting as a bridge between providing health services and keeping the needs of this population on the political agenda
  4. Provide direct care in times of acute illness for this group
