Case StudiesThese case studies are designed to be completed after you have studied the content in each module, but you can complete them at any time you feel ready. Case studies allow you to apply what you have learned in this course to real-world situations. Case Study #1:Ms. H is a 35-year-old woman who had been successfully using condoms as her contraceptive method for five years. She comes to you today and wants to get an IUD. Ms. H’s partner works away from home up to six months at a time. What sexuality and sexual health issues need to be explored in this case? What information does this client need to have to make an informed choice regarding a contraceptive method?
Case Study #2:Ms. Q is a 17-year-old visiting your clinic complaining of a vaginal discharge. During discussion with Ms. Q, you find out that she is being sexually abused by her uncle and has not been able to tell anyone for months for fear of being kicked out of her home. Instead she really wants a contraceptive method to avoid getting pregnant. What sexuality and sexual health issues need to be addressed with this client?
Case Study #3:Mr. P arrives at your clinic seeking your help; he agreed with his recent partner to use a spermicidal preparation for contraception, but he has had a burning on his penis since the encounter one day ago. He is afraid that he may have an STI. What sexuality issues need to be addressed with this client?
Case Study #4:Ms. V is eight months into her first pregnancy. She is coming to you for her regular prenatal visit. She complains of vague pains in the abdomen at night that she thinks are caused by sex. Ms. V says that her husband is constantly pressuring her for sex; he finds her very desirable. But Ms. V is afraid that sex will hurt the baby, plus she cannot figure out how they can “do it” with the size of her belly. On examination, you find no evidence of complications or signs of labor. What sexuality issues need to be addressed with this client?
