At which age will a community nurse introduce puberty education to a girl?

• A. 10
• B. 8
• C. 12
• D. 14

Answer: (A)

Introducing puberty education to girls around age 10 sets the stage for them to understand upcoming changes before they happen. At this age, many girls are approaching puberty, so the information—covering physical changes, menstrual hygiene, and emotional adjustments—helps them prepare for menarche, which commonly occurs a year or so later. Starting too early, like at 8, can be less relevant for many, while waiting until 12 or 14 may leave girls unprepared for early changes. So, 10 is a practical, commonly used starting point in community health education for this topic.
