Every female holds the right to decide if and at what time she wants to become pregnant. For couples who are planning for pregnancy, the use of birth control methods until they are prepared facilitates them in making sure that the mother and the newborn will be as healthy as possible. If an individual is sexually active, the single means to prevent pregnancy is to opt for a helpful birth control method and to make use of it in the correct and consistent fashion ("Birth Control: What's Right for You?").

Communicable Disease - HIV The early history of HIV was a story of misunderstanding, governmental neglect, suffering and death. However, through the efforts of medical professionals and activists, global and national understanding, funding, research and patient support have grown considerably in the decades since HIV was first identified. Despite the developments, HIV remains a significant health issue, currently affecting approximately 33.3 million people living with HIV worldwide and 1.1+ million people living with HIV in the United States. Consequently, federal, state and local programs are focused on decreasing and ultimately eliminating HIV/AIDS through education, testing, increased access to high quality medical care and preventive measures. In this context, a nurse's role in education and prevention stems from his/her core value of becoming a knowledgeable, effective advocate for the highest attainable quality of patient care. Nurses can support this core value by becoming educated about HIV-related issues, making his/her voice heard and forming an alliance with individual patients to educate, treat and enhancing preventive behaviors in patients. Clearly, the medical community, including but not limited to nurses, perform vital functions for the reduction and ultimate elimination of HIV/AIDS. Finally, numerous community programs, organizations and support groups exist, for example in San Francisco, to enhance the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS and their families. As research shows, the history of HIV/AIDS has developed from a story of undertreated devastation to a concerted and aggressive effort to contain, treat, prevent and ultimately eliminate HIV/AIDS.

As President Obama stated in his addresses to Congress in February 2009, the most important problem that the country faced was the economy, which was in the worst recession since the 1930s. This affected both domestic and foreign policy, since the country would probably have to reduce military spending and its commitments overseas as it did during the Great Depression, so for the Obama administration economic recovery was the primary goal. He did promise that "the weight of this crisis will not determine the destiny of this nation" (Obama Address, 2009, p. 1). He promised that the government would deal with unemployment, lack of affordable housing and health care, a failing education system, energy self-sufficiency, revival of the auto industry, an unfair tax system, and weak regulation of the financial system, so that the recession would not be endless.
