Procedure Assessment Exercises

For one of our first objective, we wanted the students at Magnolia Science Academy to be able to identify at the end of the session three, different contraceptives, which then changed it to one because of time constraints. To test this objective to see if it was absorbed we placed it as the question in the post-test portion of the session. The question was stated, “to name one way to prevent pregnancy.” In Appendix A, figure 1, you can see the graph in detail.

Knowledge about condoms and contraceptives provide the teenagers a better understanding which may lessen the incidence of early pregnancies and infections brought about by sexual intercourse. The author also recommends the government to sponsor condom availability programs for high school students to provide more access to condoms and contraceptives. Prohibiting the young people of today from using condoms and contraceptives may only increase the problems of illnesses and unwanted pregnancies so it may be more beneficial to do

Assessment in counseling should be viewed not as a one-time prediction activity but rather as continuous throughout the counseling process (Juhnke, 1995). In the future I would conduct assessments for each of my clients before service is conducted to gather information about them and when there have been any types of disruption with the client while receiving services. Conducting assessments would help to determine what goals to set and other resources that the client may need to assist with their problem. With the increase problem with people being killed by law enforcement or being a member of someone that had been killed. It is a major concern to me so, I would assess the people involve to evaluate their mental status and possibly Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). We don’t know what someone have experienced or been through as a victim so, as counselor assesses them more in detail with the necessary tools (assessments) and individual counseling is very beneficial.

Forms of birth control were talked about and how women chose to practice these methods, but overall women were held accountable for the proper or lack of use of contraceptives. Birth control was expected from women and men to not partake finding more effective usage of birth control if discomfort was prevailing for women. If discomfort or unsatisfied results while using a type of birth control arose for men then they were not held to the same standards of women and were excused for using a condom.

The following table may be used to aid your completion of this unit. Alternatively, you may want to record your knowledge and understanding in an assignment type format. If you choose the assignment format, please make reference to the criteria numbers in the margins adjacent to relevant paragraphs.

The teen pregnancy rates have declined as a result of the increase in sexual protection used by teens. The use of condoms

Purchase various brands of condoms as a means to evaluate which type is the most durable in order to aid in preventing sexually transmitted diseases, human immunodeficiency viruses, and unplanned teen pregnancies amongst high school students. To illustrate, begin by gathering your materials and one by one stretch a condom individually over a cup. Following, take a pin or needle and proceed to poke the condoms, making certain to count the amount of times each is able to be punctured to verify which one lasts the longest before breaking. As a result, this will reveal which condom is most effective in resistance and security in order to establish the best estimate to which condom has the greatest chance of not breaking during sex.

Many questions and concerns have come about regarding this promotion of condoms being distributed in public schools. Will it lower teen pregnancy rates? Will condoms reduce sexually transmitted diseases? Will the distribution of condoms in public

The paradigm of adulthood is sex and sexual education is important to anybody who participate in sex but, not everybody participate in sex. Some celebrate celibacy it may also be called abstinence This is when you don't participate in the act of sex. This is the only way to not get an sexually transmitted disease. In celibacy there is an 100% success rate (Crawford, C. (n.d.). The Pros and Cons of Celibacy). Condoms only second to celibacy has a 98% success rate the other 2 percent are the chance that the condoms misfail and they don't protect you. The 98% doesn't calculate human error in the equation , the number may be in the mid 80’s if the instruction are not followed exactly (Parenthood, P. (n.d.). What Is the Effectiveness of Condoms? Retrieved October 17, 2017). Such things like way the male puts it on or even small things like temperature can affect the longevity and usefulness of condoms. Regardless if participante if celibacy you still need the knowledge of sexual education. Even if is a topic that is controversial it is a topic that we have to bring to light because it’s something every person needs to know. Such diseases such as aids, hiv, and any diseases in a sexually transmitted disease (std) can be deadly and even if doesn't kill you it can greatly affect your life. There is even laws in place that if you have a sexual relationship with a person with no knowledge of your disease you

How would it feel to be a 17 year old teen that is having to go home and tell their parents that they are pregnant, or that they have contracted a sexually transmitted disease (STD)? It does not sound very pleasant, does it? If teens were to have easy access to condoms these things may not be a problem. A condom is a thin latex sheath that acts as a barrier device (Bedsider, 2014). Condoms are used during intercourse as a barrier to protect from unwanted pregnancy and contracting STDs (Bedsider, 2014). Condoms are not only for use by males but there are also female variations of condoms. Some parents believe this kind of program will increase sexually activity among teens, but others believe that it only increases the use of condoms, not the number of sexually active teens. Condoms can also go against religious beliefs, such as the beliefs of Catholicism. The following are arguments why condoms should be distributed in schools: (a) having condoms easily obtained would increase use, (b) to help lower teen pregnancy rates, (c) help prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among adolescents, and (d) increase condom use among teens.

During lunch a group of high school students engaged in a discussion on sexual matters. One of the students mentioned that if two condoms are worn instead of only one it will further prevent pregnancies and stds. However, when more than one condom is used it will create friction and break leading to the possibility of getting pregnant and direct skin contact which makes a person vulnerable to an std. Many adolescents in the present day are participating in sex with minimal to no knowledge about the concept. There are about “850,000 pregnancies, and… 9.1 million sexually transmitted infections”(Mckeon, 2006, para. one) within the young age group primarily targeted to the high school students. The appropriate action to decrease these numbers is having all high schools have an elective sex education course, to educate students on the body of females and males, inform on the complications and risks, and promote an effective version of abstinence.

In behavioral and cognitive psychology, it is widely recognized that humans are not always rational decision makers. Even when humans learn of new, relevant information, it is difficult to predict how that information will in turn affect decisions and behaviors. Previous studies have concluded that there is no significant relationship between sexual knowledge and safe sex. One notion that is an antecedent to adopting protective behavior is risk perception. Risk perception is a subjective judgment, and in situations where the risk is high enough, an individual will perhaps change his or her behavior. Thus, in terms of condom use, people will use condoms if the costs of potential illness

There are several literatures discussing the importance of condoms in prevention of sexually transmitted diseases; the findings and conclusions of these studies were more or less similar especially among the young population. The youth represent the cohort with a substantial risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infection (Bull, S et al, 2012). Although the risk of acquiring such infections is common among heterosexual couples, male to male sexual behaviour has been considered as the primary risk factor for STIs, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (Geibel et al, 2010). The behavior of men who have sex with men (MSM) and their sexual activities are well documented in several literatures; however, there has been little

One weakness in the assessment plan is the lack of variability in terms of the format of the assessments and the feedback provided by the teacher. Each assessment is a formal, multiple-choice style test, thereby likely reducing the students’ need to use sketches or manipulatives to explain reasoning; with this format, correct answers depend on choosing the correct letter, not the student’s proficiency at reasoning and explaining.

This should, therefore, stop scaring the teenagers and parents who advise their children against the birth control measure. However, teenagers may not use the condoms efficiently or fail in following the rules required in the usage of condoms (Zafer, Maryam, et al, 646). This therefore, makes the use of condoms for teenagers to drop to 85% effectiveness. It indicates that out of one hundred people who use condoms, there is a likely hood that fifteen will get pregnant annually. Condom education is therefore important in schools aiming at the teenagers as they are more affected by unwanted pregnancies discouraging them from completing their studies. This education enlightens them on how to use condoms correctly when having sex.
