Her mother and her siblings each became a teen parent, and Rodriguez became a witness to the hardships and struggles faced when teens experience an unintended pregnancy, and struggle to financially support their child(ren), often due to being unable to continue their education.

    When most people think about a fetus, the first thing that comes to mind is innocence. Due to the views on a fetus, experimentation is not publically endorsed. People can be uninformed about fetal experimentation, which can lead to rumors of conspiracy revolving around the research.

    My first patient is an 18-year-old, black female who came for abdominal pain. To plan and provide nursing care on this patient, I did a focused assessment first. As the patient answered some of my questions, I have figured out that the patient has undergone abortion last March 21, 2017 and she never went back for a 2-week follow-up appointment.

To rule out the cause of her abdominal pain, the primary health care provider ordered a CBC, U/A, CMP and abdominal ultrasound.…
