The nurse teaching 8th grade girls addresses common myths about sexuality and body functions. Which statement by a student is an indication that teaching was effective?
a. "After the first time I have sex, I need to begin some form of birth control to avoid pregnancy."
b. "Condoms are the most effective birth control and it is the only way I can be sure I won't get pregnant."
c. "I only have to worry about being infected with a sexually transmitted infection if I see a sore or have pain."
d. "Enjoyable sexual relationships or reaching orgasm simultaneously does not indicate the quality of the relationship."
D
The goals of this teaching would be to dispel myths about sex and sexuality. The statement is accurate that simultaneous orgasm and good sexual relations do not predict the quality of a relationship. This dispels a myth to the contrary and reflects learning. The statement that a person cannot get pregnant the first time she has sex is a myth and would indicate the need for further teaching. Although condoms may be most effective when used correctly, they do not always prevent pregnancy; therefore, that statement indicates the need for further teaching. Sexually transmitted infections may not produce noticeable symptoms, especially in women, so this statement indicates the need for further teaching.
