Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The withdrawal technique does not decrease the likelihood of becoming pregnant for a teen because it is unreliable in application and, even without penetration, ejaculation can result in pregnancy. It is true that adolescents are more likely to become pregnant even if they correctly use available contraception methods, based on current clinical evidence, because they are more likely to have contraceptive failure in the context of decreased knowledge. It is also true that pregnancy can occur in the presence or absence of orgasm, and even if a teen is menstruating at the time of coitus.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The correct use of barrier methods helps protect against the transmission of STDs compared with other methods of contraception. The use of oral contraceptives has no effect on the transmission of STDs. The effectiveness of oral contraceptives is increased related to the prevention of pregnancy compared with other methods with the exception of abstinence. The method of sexual activity does not affect the transmission of STDs.
