A client wants to know the best way to avoid sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse should mention:
A) Abstinence
B) Monogamous relationship with an infected partner
C) Washing the genitals after sex
D) Use of latex condoms
Ans: A
Feedback:
Other than abstinence, a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and is known to be uninfected is the best way to avoid STIs. Sexual partners should talk to each other about their STIs so that preventive action can be taken. Prevention of STI transmission does not include washing the genitals, urinating, or douching after sex. Latex condoms can reduce the risk of transmission but only when used consistently (every time) and correctly.
