Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals by teaching adolescents about contraceptive options while being cautious to avoid indirectly encouraging sexual activity among teens. A 2020 National Health Goal is to increase the number of adolescents being instructed on abstinence. A condom should be applied before penile-vulvar contact. Oral contraceptives are not the contraceptive of choice for adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Although home care allows a more normal environment while minimizing family disruption, any barriers (such as child or family care) that would keep the woman from carrying out the prescribed treatment need to be discussed. Home health care providers, restricted activity, and medications may not be necessary. Nursing assessments related to uterine activity and fetal movements are the same in the home setting as in the hospital.
