Question 2

A female college student seeks information about emergency contraception. What is the most important part of the assessment of this patient?&#10;A) Cultural considerations for use of contraception&#10;B) Feelings of guilt about a possible pregnancy&#10;C) Possible concerns about confidentiality&#10;D) The female's sense of control in sexual situations

Accepted Answer

The most important part of the assessment of a patient seeking emergency contraception is the female's sense of control in sexual situations. It is important to assess whether the patient is in a consensual sexual relationship, whether there is any history of sexual abuse or coercion, and whether the patient is able to negotiate condom use or other forms of contraception with her partner. This information will help the healthcare provider determine the appropriate course of action and provide appropriate counseling about safer sex practices. Cultural considerations, feelings of guilt, and concerns about confidentiality are also important factors to consider, but they are not as critical to the assessment as the patient's sense of control.
