Answer:Accepting the pregnancy

Step-by-step explanation:

Due to the fact that this is a 17 year old, it may be a shock and this young lady may be in denial of it all because they want it all to go away since it may have come unexpectedly. The nurse may just help guid her towards accepting the situation and maybe shedding some light on what she can do moving forward and making references of where she can get even more psychological help and other help that may help her through the journey or in deciding what she will do moving forward.
