Scenario-Based Case Notes: Kathy
Scenario-Based Case Notes: Kathy
You are a human services worker meeting with 16-year-old Kathy who is seven months pregnant. You are trying to educate Kathy on the benefits of attending a series of childbirth and baby care classes that you have arranged for her to take. Baby Audrey will be born in approximately eight weeks, and Kathy has attended only half of one session, which comprised one and a half of the 18 hours of required class time. After you meet with Kathy, she still refuses to attend the classes, so you decide to provide her with a pamphlet that will provide education on pregnancy self-care and newborn care essentials.
Create a set of case notes that you will go over with Kathy and other young mothers in similar circumstances, describing information from this week’s textbook readings and other sources that will help mothers through the prenatal stage and facilitate proper knowledge of, and attention to, their care and safety and those of the newborn babies.
Your case notes do not need to be structured like a traditional written paper, but should be 2-3 pages in length. Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook.
