Feedback:
Safer sexual practices include using a latex condom for intercourse, voiding immediately after having sex, avoiding sex with intravenous drug users, and inspecting the sexual partner for genital lesions. Hand-to-genital sex is not the safest sexual practice. Abstinence is the only 100% guarantee against not contracting a sexually transmitted infection.

A nurse is satisfied that the mother of a 2-year-old with a history of febrile seizures understands how to effectively decrease body temperature when the mother states:
1. "I will put my child in a lukewarm bath, making sure the temperature of the water is somewhere between 105°F and 110°F." 2. "When his temperature reaches 10B.5°F, I will carefully place ice bags in the armpits and groin." 3. "If his fever spikes, I will bring him to the emergency department because he will most likely need to be lavaged with cold water." 4. "If I put ice bags around his body, his temperature will not get high enough to cause seizures."
