Which statement made by an adolescent girl indicates an understanding about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)?

a. I know the only way to prevent STDs is not to be sexually active..
b. I practice safe sex because I wash myself right after sex..
c. I won't get any kind of STD because I take the pill..
d. I have sex only if my boyfriend wears a condom..

Question 2

A nurse is totaling an 8 hour output for a child admitted with vomiting and diarrhea. The child had an emesis at 0800 of 50 mL and an emesis at 1200 of 35 mL.

The child had 3 diapers weighed and calculated during the 8 hour shift: 1 diaper (urine and stool) = 30 mL; 1 diaper (urine only) = 25 mL; and 1 diaper (stool only) = 20 mL. What is the total 8 hour output for this child?

Answer to Question 1

A
Abstinence is the only foolproof way to prevent an STD. STDs are transmitted through body fluids (semen, vaginal fluids, blood). Perineal hygiene will not prevent an STD. Oral contraceptives do not protect women from contracting STDs. A condom can reduce but not eliminate an individual's chance of acquiring an STD.

Answer to Question 2

160
160 mL
Total emesis output = 85 mL and total urine and stool output = 75 mL. These are added together to get the total output for the 8 hours = 160 . Emesis, urine, and stool are all counted when totaling output.
