Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The instructor should identify the need for further instruction if a student states that antibiotics can cure all STDs. STDs refer to infections that are contracted primarily through sexual activities or intimate contact. An example of an incurable STD is HIV. STDs are at epidemic levels in the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Hypoactive sexual desire disorder has been treated in men and women with testosterone. Cognitive behavioral therapies and relationship therapies have been identified as most beneficial when combined together. Couples therapy has been identified as a beneficial focus when partner incompatibility with regard to sexual desire is identified as an issue.
