Assignment Problem:

Eve is a Registered Nurse (RN), employed by Queensland Health, who currently works in a family planning clinic based in Brisbane. Eve's job includes the provision of sexual health advice and services to young people who attend the clinic. Eve was asked to see Ola, who is 15 years old. Ola is generally a very sensible girl, who is intelligent and positive in her outlook. She attended the clinic during a drop-in session so that she could obtain sexual and reproductive health advice. As the discussion unfolded, it became apparent to Eve that Ola is engaging in sexual activity very regularly with many different partners. When questioned about this further Ola became agitated, saying she was simply seeking some advice about safe sex. Eve provided Ola with information about sexually transmitted infections and the ways to reduce the risk of contracting such infections. Eve asked Ola whether she was using any protection, at which point Ola burst into tears and said 'What difference does it make now? Dad's been doing it to me for years at home.' When Eve tried to seek more information, Ola said 'Please don't tell anyone about that or anything else I've told you.' After Ola leaves the clinic, RN Eve notices that Ola's emergency contact details list her mother. Eve wonders if she should tell Ola's mother what Ola has divulged to her about her sexual activity. She is also unsure whether she needs to take further action about what Ola has said goes on at home
