Answer to Question 1

D
This demonstrates that the nurse has heard what the teen is saying and has provided useful in-formation that may encourage the teen to examine her plans carefully, seriously, and maturely.

Answer to Question 2

A
It is important that nurses be able to discuss these topics to help prevent and control STDs. Without discussion of these topics, it is possible that clients will not be aware that they have an STD and may transmit it to others.
