Feedback:
To help patients better understand reproductive functioning and sexual health throughout their life, an expected outcome might include encouraging women over 40 to have mammograms. The process of reproduction would be appropriate for younger patients. Teaching on safer sex practices would be appropriate for an adolescent. Breast self-examinations should be conducted every month.
