Broering, JM . n.d.. The adolescent, health and society topical areas of interest for promoting health commentary from the perspective of nursing . Unpublished typescript, 16

Annotation: Written from a nurse's perspective, this paper discusses the importance of handling the complex and unpredictable adolescent health issues that often present themselves within a clinical setting. As an example, the author describes an adolescent who seeks clinical treatment for a urinary tract infection, but she has a bruise on her face from an act of violence-- a more life-threatening health concern. The author asserts that wellness promotion, prevention strategies, policy development, and service delivery models are needed to address the complex health needs of adolescents.
