The nurse is conducting a health program at the local high school on the prevention of the transmission of HIV. The nurse concludes that the students have met the learning goals when one student states:
1. "I will be safe if I always have sex with the same partner."
2. "I am protected because I take oral contraceptives."
3. "I should not reuse a condom."
4. "I should never use a latex condom."
Answer: 3
1. It is not necessarily safe to be with only one partner unless there is certainty that both are uninfected and that the relationship is totally monogamous.
2. Oral contraceptives do not give protection against HIV but against pregnancy.
3. Students should be taught to never reuse a condom because a used condom might be damaged.
4. Latex is the preferred material for condoms.
