The high school nurse can best evaluate that a sexually active student understood the nurse's teaching on prevention of sexually transmitted diseases when the student says which of the following things?
1. "I only engage in foreplay and oral sex, and not sexual intercourse."
2. "I only have one sexual partner, so I can take oral contraceptives."
3. "I make certain my partner and I use barrier contraceptives properly."
4. "I always urinate and shower with strong soap after each sexual contact."
3
Rationale: The client who understands that the best means of preventing sexually transmitted diseases is the use of barrier contraceptives has understood the nurse's teaching. Sexually transmitted diseases can be shared during oral sex and foreplay. Even if the student's partner is currently monogamous, past sexual encounters might put the student at risk for STIs. Urinating and showering will not reduce risk.
