Feedback:
The nurse is most correct to place information regarding prevention of sexually transmitted diseases in bold letters. The information that many people are asymptomatic and show no symptoms is an important point to stress. Common age-groups are an interesting fact. Repercussions of the disease are also important to highlight; however, prevention is most important.
