A nurse is providing family planning counselling. Which action is most appropriate?

A. Fitting contraceptive device for the client: While placing devices like IUDs or implants is part of family planning, it is a procedure that requires prior assessment and informed consent. Immediate placement without education or discussion may not ensure understanding or adherence. B. Providing detailed education to the client: Education is central to family planning counselling. Explaining options, effectiveness, potential side effects, and proper use empowers the client to make informed choices and supports safe, autonomous decision-making. C. Offering emergency contraception to the client: Emergency contraception is time-sensitive and situational. It may be part of family planning services but is not the primary or most appropriate action during general counselling sessions. D. Discussing preferences with the client's partner: Including the partner may be appropriate if the client desires, but counselling should prioritize the client’s autonomy and individual choice, ensuring their preferences are understood first.
