Case Study, Date Violence
Dating violence is a serious public health problem in the United States. It can have a negative effect on both mental and physical health throughout a victim’s life. Teens who are victims of dating abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual) are more likely to do poorly in school. Anger and/or stress that dating abuse victims feel may lead to eating disorders (overweight or underweight), depression, and participation in unhealthy behaviors, such as drug and alcohol use. Some teens may even consider or attempt suicide. As you consider the problem presented in the case study, reflect on other related concerns that impact the well-being of vulnerable populations.
Case
Christina is a 17-year-old high school senior. She and her boyfriend Jake have been dating for 6 months. Jake gave Christina a cell phone for her birthday last month; he calls or texts her constantly. At first, she was flattered by Jake’s attention and thought it was romantic. He never leaves her alone when they are out with others, and he becomes angry with her when she goes out alone with friends. Christina is concerned and remembers a school program on teen dating abuse. Christina visits the school nurse and describes her relationship with Jake. The nurse does a physical and mental assessment.
Questions
Discuss the questions the nurse should ask during the initial and subsequent encounters with Christina.
Discuss interventions the nurse could use at the primary, secondary, and tertiary level of intervention.

Case Study: Genetic Testing and Patient Autonomy
Dr. Leonard Harper, a seasoned geneticist at Hillside Medical Center, has always been an
advocate for patient autonomy. One day, he is approached by Mrs. Clara Bennett, a 38-year-old
literature professor, who is expecting her first child. Clara, having heard about the
advancements in prenatal genetic testing, wishes to undergo the procedure to determine if her
unborn child has any genetic disorders. She’s particularly concerned due to her age and a
family history of genetic anomalies.
After conducting the necessary tests, the results reveal a high likelihood that the child will have
Down syndrome. Dr. Harper schedules a private consultation with Clara to discuss the findings.
During the meeting, Clara, visibly distressed, makes an unexpected request. She asks Dr.
Harper to withhold the results from her husband, Lt. Jack Bennett, a naval officer currently
stationed overseas. Clara fears how Jack, who is eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child,
might react to the news. She’s concerned that it might add undue stress to his already
demanding and dangerous job.
Dr. Harper finds himself in a profound ethical dilemma. On one hand, he respects Clara’s
autonomy and her right to decide when and how the information is shared. On the other hand,
he believes in the importance of open communication, especially in matters that affect family
dynamics and decision-making. He worries about the strain this secret might place on the
Bennetts’ marriage and the potential implications for future medical decisions regarding the
child.
