evaluation.
C The parents are advised of probable posttraumatic symptoms. These include

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The patient has the morning after pill but has not yet taken the prescribed dosage. This indicates that the patient has not yet made a decision. Powerlessness would be applicable if the patient's planned contraceptive was ineffective. Spiritual distress would be appropriate if there were a conflict regarding contraceptive methods. Readiness for enhanced knowledge would be applicable if the patient was asking about different contraceptive types.
