Her goal was to earn a bachelor’s degree in science and one day attend medical school. For the past 3 years, she has dated only Robert, aged 20 years, and he was already attending a nearby university. Robert had plans to be an accountant. They are planning on marriage at some point in time, which led them to having unprotected sex on a regular basis. Alexa took oral contraceptives to prevent pregnancy, so she did not worry about becoming pregnant. However, Alexa began to get sick with intermittent flulike signs and symptoms, such as no appetite, weight loss, nausea and diarrhea, and other mysterious symptoms. She finally went to her physician and received a diagnosis of HIV. She was shocked! She had never had sex with anyone but Robert, and to her knowledge she had not acquired HIV by other means. Robert did not look sick, and she had never doubted his faithfulness to her until now. After confronting him, she found out that he had been getting high on drugs and having risky, unprotected group sex with both genders. Although he too had been having symptoms, he had not yet been diagnosed with HIV when Alexa confronted him. He later received a diagnosis of HIV.1. You are the nurse in the clinic on the day Alexa finds out she has HIV. She remains in the clinic for more than an hour with you while you try to support and console her. You have had formal HIV counseling training, so you apply your skills as you communicate with her. Several weeks later, after Alexa is more composed and has had time to think about her situation, she drops by the clinic and wants to talk with you on a more personal basis. She needs comforting. What approaches will you use with Alexa? Please explore how to use and apply the nursing ethical competencies to help Alexa. Be specific with your approaches and rationales. 2. You realize that emotional support and possibly spiritual support are important to adolescent development. What nursing approaches could you use to offer support to Alexa? Be very specific. In doing so, encourage her to think about her life goals with or without Robert, her medical future, and her future in general. Imagine what you might say to her and do for her. Imagine a supportive conversation you might have with her. ScienceHealth ScienceNursing
