Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The nurse is using the specific suggestions (SS). The PLISSIT model is as follows:
Permission to discuss sexuality issues
Limited Information related to sexual health problems being experienced
Specific Suggestionsonly when the nurse is clear about the problem
Intensive Therapyreferral to professional with advanced training if necessary

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Condoms are both a contraceptive and a barrier against STIs and HIV; proper use will greatly reduce the risk. Spermicides, diaphragms, and oral contraceptives all protect against pregnancy; however, they are not a barrier and do not prevent bodily fluids from coming in contact with the patient during sexual intercourse.
