contraception counseling
Contraceptive counseling provides education, dispels misinformation, facilitates selection of a method that will be successful for the individual, and encourages patient involvement in healthcare decisions and life goals. Discussing contraception brings the nurse practitioner and patient together to create a tailored plan that meets the individual’s reproductive needs over a lifetime.
Discuss clinical encounters relating to contraception. How would you counsel patients on their choices and possible risks? Describe how you would explain the differences to your patients in the long acting reversal contraceptive devices.
