ATI RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam 2023
A nurse is caring for an adolescent client who is preparing for their first pelvic examination. Which of the following techniques should the nurse use to explain the procedure?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Give the adolescent a short story pamphlet about puberty. While educational materials about puberty can be helpful, they do not provide specific information about a pelvic examination. B. Describe the steps to the adolescent's guardian. The explanation should be directed to the adolescent to ensure they understand and feel comfortable. The guardian may be included if the adolescent prefers. C. Show an online video that demonstrates what to expect. A visual demonstration can help reduce anxiety by familiarizing the adolescent with the procedure in a clear and informative way. D. Use an anatomically correct puppet to demonstrate. Puppets are more appropriate for explaining procedures to younger children, not adolescents.
