Provision of Contraceptives

Topic

Balancing moral convictions and public health needs in providing contraceptive care for teenagers and unmarried adults.
Thesis Statement

Nurses should provide contraceptive services to teenagers and unmarried adults despite theological opposition to premarital sex.
Objectives

To evaluate moral and spiritual interpretation of sexual ethics, especially in teenagers and unmarried adults in Christianity and other major religions and racial-ethnic traditions in my locality and expected place of work.
To investigate if Christian nurses are obligated to provide contraceptive care to unmarried clients and how to resolve potential conflicts with Christian interpretation of premarital sex as a sin.
