When questioning the patient regarding his or her sexual history, which question should be asked initially?
a. "Do you have any particular sexual likes or dislikes?"
b. "Do you have any worries or concerns regarding your sex life?"
c. "How often do you have intercourse and with whom?"
d. "Do you have any reason to think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection?"
B
When approaching questioning about a sensitive area, it is recommended that the provider first ask open-ended questions that explore the patient's feelings about the issue. "Do you have any particular sexual likes or dislikes?" is not a question that should be asked in an interview regard-ing sexual history. "How often do you have intercourse and with whom?" and "Do you have any reason to think you may have been exposed to a sexually transmitted infection?" are not ques-tions that should be asked initially in an interview regarding the patient's sexual history.
