Unwanted pregnancy diagnosis

[kmclark89]

I am creating a care plan on safe sex practices for highschoolers. We wanted to use unwanted pregnancy as part as our diagnosis, would risk for role strain related to unwanted pregnancy work?

Thanks!!!!!

I'm confused. If your careplan is for safe sex practices, wouldn't unwanted pregnancy be a potential problem rather than an actual one?

If pregnancy is a diagnosis, it's a little late for safe sex practices. This time around, anyway.

Does your care plan include prevention, along the lines of correctly choosing potential sexual partners? Does it include any type of "scare tactics?" If kids were exposed to these type of methods, and many more where those came from, there definitely would be a different attitude towards Unwanted Pregnancies.

We are teaching about different methods of contraception and their effectiveness as well as stressing that if the kids choose to have sex that both the kid and his or her partner should be tested for STD's before having sex. We have not included choosing the right partner, but that is an excellent idea and I think we are going to add that because that is important. We have also included in our plan to talk about how one of the best ways to limit getting an STD is to have a low number of sexual partners. But thank you for the advice on the diagnosis! Our professor said that we could use "Risk for unwanted pregnancy related to insufficient knowledge of contraception." Not sure if it's an actual nursing diagnosis... but well at this point got to go with what the professor wants I guess.

Hehe, I read the title 'unwanted pregnancy diagnosis' very incorrectly...
