Thick, coarse pubic hair extending to the thighs is a normal finding in adult females. The presence of pubic hair indicates the onset of puberty, but it does not necessarily mean that the client has started menstruation or is sexually active. It is not necessary to report this finding to the healthcare provider as it is considered normal. Therefore, documenting the findings as normal would be the most appropriate action.
