Case Study 3 Reproductive Health

Kai is a 16-year-old high school student who has recently become sexually active with her

17-year-old boyfriend. She comes to the family planning clinic to discuss her options for

contraception. She tells the nurse that she isnt worried about sexually transmitted infections, but

her mom will freak out if she gets pregnant. She doesnt want her parents to know that she has

visited the clinic and she is worried that they will find out she is having sex. She has heard about

IUDs from a friend and wants to know if this is a good option for her.

Questions

1. What are some benefits of Kai using an IUD as a contraceptive method?

2. What are some drawbacks to teenagers using IUDs?

3. Discuss additional barriers to prescribing an IUD to a teenager.
