Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Education on sexual health should take into consideration the age and sexual experience of the audience. For teens who have not yet had sexual intercourse, an abstinence-only program might make sense. However, if the teens have already engaged in sexual intercourse, they are likely to continue this behavior, and the program should focus on using condoms in order to avoid unprotected sex and its risks. Abstinence-only programs cannot be characterized as being of no value. Encouraging teens to ask questions off the prepared topic is a passive-aggressive action. It is not up to the nurse to decide if teens should have sex or not.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Successful conflict resolution strategies enable the teen to remain calm and safe. If communication and respect do not work to resolve the conflict, the teen should remove herself from the situation. The other statements do not show that the teen has understood this message.
