CASE INTRODUCTION

Violet Berry, a 16-year-old pregnant with her first child, and her boyfriend, Cory Peterson, make a visit to the school nurse’s office.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF CASE

Case Part 1 (text): Violet Berry is a 16-year-old Black female who is 28 weeks pregnant. She is gravida 1. She lives at home with her mother, grandmother, grandfather, and younger brother. Violet is in 10th grade at the local high school. She is 63 inches tall. Her prepregnancy weight was 110 pounds, and she currently weighs 118 pounds. She has generally been feeling well. The father of the baby, Cory Peterson, is also in 10th grade and tells Violet he wants to be a part of the life of her and the baby after the delivery. Violet went for her first visit to the prenatal clinic last week. She waited as long as she could because she did not want to tell her family that she was pregnant.

Current data reveal a reversal in the increase of teen pregnancy in the United States (Daley, 2012; www.cdc.gov); however, even with this lower rate, the United States continues to have the highest of teen birth rates of all industrialized nations. Most teens still report pregnancies as unintended. Early parenthood frequently influences the educational, developmental, social, mental health, and financial outcomes especially for the teen mother, but also for her child, family, and community. Additionally, teen pregnancy influences the rate of sexually transmitted infections among the teen population, which is among some of the highest.

Case Part 2 (video): Violet and her boyfriend, Cory, visit the school nurse to discuss her pregnancy. Violet is 28 weeks pregnant and is well supported by her boyfriend. In this scene, the school nurse discusses priorities for Violet during her pregnancy and commends her boyfriend for his support.

5. In anticipation of the delivery of Violet’s baby and her return to her home, what type of teaching should the nurse provide to Violet?
