A case study is examined to illustrate possible approaches to care and personal reflections of the author will be shared regarding issues of teenage pregnancy. In 2009 almost 410,000 infants were born to United States teenage girls between the ages of 15 and 19. Nearly two-thirds of births to women younger than 18 and more than half of those among 18 and 19-year-olds were a result of unintended pregnancies (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011). This represents a teen birth rate as much as nine times greater than other developed countries and is especially high among black and Hispanic teens in southern states (Vital signs: teen pregnancy, 2011). Those at highest risk of teen pregnancy are girls from single parent homes, families with low socioeconomic status, and girls with a sister who became pregnant as a teenager (Talashek, Alba, & Patel, 2006).
Financial Planning By Hilary B Gross Hyacinth Irons Algebra with Applications May 29, 2013 Throughout our marriage, my husband and I, with our ever-growing family, have lived in Georgia twice, South Carolina, Texas and Virginia. We weren’t able to buy a home anywhere because we never knew if we would be in one spot for more than two years. It is hard to find and keep a job because of the constant moving, not to mention that when we would have to pay day care expenses from three to four children.

Windshield Survey Reflection The city that I had chosen for my Windshield Survey was Vancouver, Washington. I had lived in this city for most of my life; however, had paid no mind to the community other than for my own personal needs and enjoyment. After having researched this community and learning more about the city’s environment and about the people who live here, I find this city to be very interesting. I chose three community nursing diagnoses for my paper. The first diagnosis is ineffective health maintenance related to lack of familiarity with neighborhood resources.
Windshield Survey Reflection NUR/405 April 23, 2012 Windshield Survey Reflection As a resident of the City of Palos Heights, I thought I knew a great deal about this community, however, through hours of research and studying this community I became to realize how little I actually knew. Through this research I was able to choose three nursing diagnosis I believe my “family” and the residents of the community of Palos Heights would benefit from. The first nursing diagnosis I chose is Ineffective Activity Planning. While the City of Palos Heights has many parks, walking/biking paths, and nature centers, all are located outside. This community is located in Illinois and because of inclement weather there are several months of the year that walking outside is neither feasible nor safe.
