Discussion: Group B – please complete this initial
discussion.

You are working in a rural Family Planning Health clinic and
a 16 y/o presents with complaints of vaginal pain, discharge, odor x 4 days. Pain
is getting worse. Her mother relates she has a cognitive learning delay and has
tried to talk to her about her consensual sexual behavior with multiple
partners. She tells you she has “felt some ‘bumps’ down there.” She
relates multiple sexual partners because she is now popular and it is part of
the ‘game’ to stay popular with her new friends. Diagnosis: HPV with several
condyloma lesions, a vaginal yeast infection, and chlamydia.

She is given a prescription for Chlamydia, and the vulvar
lesions, told to follow up in 2 weeks.

How do you approach her and begin the conversation regarding
safe sexual practices? What are your thoughts about this young lady? How do you
feel about her game? How would you proceed to give her education?
