Protocols constructed around the nursing process. 2: Oral contraceptives.
The author offers detailed procedures for RNs and NPs who provide oral contraceptives to students through a college health service. She includes an outline of necessary subjective assessments, objective examinations, and laboratory work, and includes a list of absolute contraindications, strong relative contraindications, and other situations that may indicate that it would be unwise to provide oral contraceptives to students. Interventions for the registered nurse and nurse practitioner are described and schedules for follow-up visits are given.
