Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6
Nurses help clients achieve sexual health by having a sound scientific knowledge base regarding sexuality. A basic understanding of sexual development, sexual orientation, contraception, abor-tion, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) is necessary. A sex therapist would be better suit-ed to discuss sexual techniques with a client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4, 6
People most likely to be infected share one key characteristic: unprotected sex with multiple partners. Additionally, social factors such as poverty, low literacy, discrimination, use of illegal drugs (e.g., crack cocaine, meth), incarceration, sexual abuse, and racial segregation contribute to racial disparities in rates of STDs.
