Beyond start of menstruation and the development of breasts, what other physical changes of puberty is Sara experiencing? What are the most likely reasons for Sara’s earlier initiative of puberty?

/in /by

CDE/SOC 312: Adolescence

PART A: 

Ever since she can remember, people have been telling Sara she could be a movie star. She is extremely pretty, exuding innocence and simplicity. At the age of 10 she began her menstrual periods. She was so ashamed she initially didn’t tell her parents or any of her friends. “I felt betrayed by my body,” she says. “It was doing things I didn’t understand.”  Sara’s older sister, who she did confide in, told her she machines that dispensed extras. By her 12th birthday she had the fully developed breasts and rounded hips of a much older teenager. The kids at school called Sara chubby. Sara has become so embarrassed about her body that she has stopped hanging out with her girlfriends, preferring to hide out in her room. When Sara goes out in public, she wears baggy sweatshirts and jeans and hunches her shoulders in an effort to hide her shape. She is starting to get poor grades in PE because she doesn’t want to “dress-out”. She can’t wait for her girlfriends to catch up and is tired of being taller than the boys.  At the age of 14, Sara is beginning to embrace the changes in her body. She is the envy of many girls her age, not to mention popular with older boys. She begged her mother to let her date high school boys, but then became petrified and overwhelmed when they tried to kiss her and touch her body. If the attention from the guys at school wasn’t confusing enough, older men—guys practically as old as her uncles, eeeuuuu!—are always making remarks about her looks, as if all of a sudden she had become public property. Sara has also noticed that people, including her parents, have started treating her more like an adult. She has been getting into fights with her mother over her new expectations and her desire for new freedoms. Sara has also been getting in fights with her brother. He seems to have hit puberty as evidenced by how much he seems to be growing. Annoyingly he now always wants to hang around with Sara and her friends, who have started to notice him. This is giving him an enlarged sense of himself that Sara finds unbearable. Sara just wants her family and friend life to get back to normal.

Questions (be sure to situate your answers within course learning materials):

  1. Beyond start of  menstruation  and  the  development  of  breasts,  what  other  physical  changes  of puberty is Sara experiencing?
  2. What are the most likely reasons for Sara’s earlier initiative of puberty?
  3. When will her girlfriends and the boys catch-up?
  4. How has puberty impacted Sara’s self-image? Would this be the same for a boy going through early puberty?
  5. What social and psychological consequences of early maturation is Sara dealing with? Why is early maturation harder on Sara than her brother?

DISCUSSION ESSAY

Click here to download and analyze the case study for this week. Create a SOAP note for disease prevention, health promotion, and acute care of the patient in the clinical case. Your care plan should be based on current evidence and nursing standards of care.

Visit the online library and research for current scholarly evidence (no older than 5 years) to support your nursing actions. In addition, consider visiting government sites such as the CDC, WHO, AHRQ, Healthy People 2020. Provide a detailed scientific rationale justifying the inclusion of this evidence in your plan.

Next determine the ICD-10 classification (diagnoses). The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) is the official system used in the United States to classify and assign codes to health conditions and related information.

Download the SOAP template to help you design a holistic patient care plan. Utilize the SOAP guidelines to assist you in creating your SOAP note and building your plan of care. You are expected to develop a comprehensive SOAP note based on the given assessment, diagnosis, and advanced nursing interventions. Reflect on what you have learned about care plans through independent research and peer discussions and incorporate the knowledge that you have gained into your patient’s care plan. If the information is not in the provided scenario please consider it normal for SOAP note purposes, if it is abnormal please utilize what you know about the disease process and write what you would expect in the subjective and objective areas of your note.

if it was your child

Rapid developments in genetic knowledge and technologies increase the ability to test asymptomatic children for late-onset diseases, disease susceptibilities, and carrier status. These developments raise ethical and legal issues that focus on the interests of children and their parents. Although parents are presumed to promote the well-being of their children, a request for a genetic test may have negative implications for children, and the health-care provider must be prepared to acknowledge and discuss such issues with families.

This is grounded in several social concepts: First, the primary goal of genetic testing should be to promote the well-being of the child. Second, the recognition that children are part of a network of family relationships supports an approach to potential conflicts that is not adversarial but, rather, emphasizes a deliberative process that seeks to promote the child’s well-being within this context. Third, as children grow through successive stages of cognitive and moral development, parents and professionals should be attentive to the child’s increasing interest and ability to participate in decisions about his or her own welfare. Therefore, counseling and communication with the child and family about genetic testing should include the following components: (1) assessment of the significance of the potential benefits and harms of the test, (2) determination of the decision-making capacity of the child, and (3) advocacy on behalf of the interests of the child.

Considering the above, I think that providers who receive requests for genetic testing in children must weigh the interests of children and those of their parents and families. The provider and the family both should consider the medical, psychosocial, and reproductive issues that bear on providing the best care for children. This will require the provider to engage individual families in comprehensive discussions of these issues and to provide them with specific information and recommendations about genetic testing. Because such testing has potential for both great benefit and great harm, and because the availability of tests continues to expand, providers of genetic services will play increasingly important roles in counseling families about the suitability of genetic testing for their children.
