Overview of Women’s Health Assessment Assignments
There are three women’s health assessment assignments to be taken. Each of these assignments has two parts. Part 1 is a presentation of information in the Discussion Area. Part 2 is a written report. For these assignments, you will select your own clients (one for each assignment) from the following categories:
• Assessment 1: Young adult gynecology (<25 years of age [YOA])
• Assessment 2: Pregnancy (20–45 YOA)
• Assessment 3: Gynecology and the older women (>40 YOA)
Be sure to ask your client’s permission to be contacted after the visit, if needed, in order to complete the assignment.

Assignment Instructions for Part 1
Your focus for this assignment should be on young adult gynecology (<25 YOA). Select a client from one of the following age categories:
a. 13–15
b. 16–18
c. 19–24
d. 25–35 (This category is included to provide an opportunity to address age and smoking impact on contraceptive selection.)
Some examples of topics you might select from include STDs, unintended pregnancies, diverse cultural issues, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Remember to include health promotion and disease prevention, where applicable, with all presentations and patient counseling.
Use the APA format to present your patient in this Discussion Area. In addition, tell the class about your approach and patient care. Use published articles to support your approach.
