Week 2 Discussion
Shauna Floyd is a 16-year-old black woman who is being seen by Whitney, the school nurse, because of complaints of headaches. Shauna does not have a primary care physician who does wellness care. Shauna tells Whitney that she just told her teacher she was having headaches so she would send her to the nurse. Shauna tells the nurse that she has been having sexual intercourse with a classmate for the past few months and is now pregnant. She is not sure what to do. Shauna has not shared any of this information with her mother.
Question 1
Whitney realizes that Shauna is still growing through adolescence. What do you think Shauna is going through at this stage of her life?
Question 2
Whitney wants to make sure that Shauna is getting prenatal teaching. What is important for Whitney to tell Shauna?
Question 3
Shauna visits Whitney 2 weeks after she delivered a 6-lb baby boy. Whitney notices that Shauna holds the baby at a distance from her. What would be appropriate for Whitney to explain to Shauna regarding this behavior?
