Problem: The nurse has cared for a family of two girls, ages 15 and 13, for many years. The older sister has short stature with associated incontinence and respiratory complications. The younger sister has recently begun her freshman year at the same high school and has a very active social life. The 15-year-old girl confides that she has no friends and that she fears she will never have a boyfriend. She whispers that she is afraid she will never get to experience sex because of her problems with incontinence. Which response by the nurse would be most effective?
