Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
The Roman Catholic Church has strongly advocated that the natural purpose of
sexual activity is to create new life and nothing should try to interfere with that potential. The
members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) do not differentiate
between the hormonal and nonhormonal methods of contraception. Some conservative
Protestant Christians and conservative Muslims also advocate allowing God to plan families
and do not use birth control methods. Judaism does not explicitly teach about family planning.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Although there are widely varying opinions regarding the appropriate application of
behavior control in clients with mental illness, it is generally agreed that nonsurgical options are
preferred over surgical interventions. Family consent does not necessarily warrant the
withholding of information from clients. Interventions do not have the goal of reducing a
person's ability to think rationally.
