You work at a women's health clinic. A woman comes in seeking information about birth control. She has been sexually active for two years, has not used any birth control, and knows little about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). When she comes into your office, you affirm her decision to come to the clinic. You then listen carefully and try to understand her situation. After you spend some time listening, you tell her about the various types of birth control, suggest that she may not want to have unprotected sex, and give her information about AIDS and other STDs. You also suggest that she might want to consider being tested for STDs. You then ask the client if she has any thoughts about what she would like to do. She thinks a while and then says that she will try to use condoms but also thinks It might be smart if she begins taking an oral contraceptive (i.e., the Pill). She thinks she would like to be tested for STDs but would like more information on the testing process. After you explain the testing process to her, she agrees to come back to the clinic for the tests. You then thanked her for coming in and scheduled another appointment. Identify and describe 2 helping skills used, plus their importance in human services. What skill would work best if she expressed fear about the possibility of having an STD, why?
