A member of the GLBT community admits that anal intercourse is often conducted unprotected. What should the population health nurse recommend to reduce this client's risk of illness?
1. Always use a condom.
2. Have monthly HIV testing.
3. Alter the type of intercourse.
4. Consider a monogamous relationship.
Answer: 1
Explanation: 1. The one strategy to help prevent disease from unprotected anal intercourse is the use of a condom. Having monthly HIV testing is an inappropriate suggestion. Altering the type of intercourse does not meet the client's need. Considering a monogamous relationship does not reduce the threat of illness from unprotected anal intercourse.
