These self-guided nursing education modules are designed for students to improve their understanding, clarify their values, and learn of ways to integrate best practices in unintended pregnancy prevention and care into clinic settings —
Through a national Delphi study, Essential Competencies in Unintended Pregnancy Prevention and Care for Nursing Education (Hewitt, C. and Cappiello, J., 2015) 85 nursing experts in unintended pregnancy prevention and care reached consensus on 27 core educational competencies for nursing education which provide a framework for curricular development in an important area of nursing education. Each module is based on several of these UPPC Essential Competencies to help students improve competency and hone their skills in these defined areas.
Patient scenarios are presented that require in-depth analysis to resolve the issues that are presented and provide the highest quality of patient care. An orientation tool must be completed prior to working through each module and a self-assessment tool can be used to test the learner’s knowledge and competence after completing the module. Each module includes faculty guides and teaching tips.

Nursing students at every level of nursing education grapple with the concept of professional ethics because it can be difficult to translate to the real world of clinical practice. This module engages the student by applying professional ethical concepts to caring for the sexual and reproductive needs of patients, specifically regarding unintended pregnancy prevention and care.
