Abstract
Adolescents with congenital heart disease need information regarding their cardiac condition and health care needs, including any life-style implications of the cardiac diagnosis. Pertinent topics to be addressed include preventive health care needs, physical activity (recreational and vocational considerations), pregnancy and contraception issues, and psychosocial stresses of adolescents. Sensitive counseling and health education by nurses can promote the physical health and psychosocial adaptation of adolescents with congenital heart disease.Entities:
