The nurse knows that when a society or culture supports sexual abstinence outside of marriage, it avoids providing sex education to its children because it is believed that to do so would:
 
  1. Erode traditional family values
  2. Promote premarital sexual activity
  3. Be too emotionally traumatic for both parent and child
  4. Put the child at an increased risk for disease and pregnancy

Question 2

The nurse is interviewing a client who is concerned about the possibility of contracting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) from unprotected sex with a known IV drug user. The nurse knows that if the client is infected:
 
  1. The client's life expectancy is 3 to 5 years
  2. There are no effective treatment modalities
  3. Symptoms of the disease will be assessable within the first month post exposure
  4. Blood work will confirm the diagnosis 6 weeks to 3 months after the initial ex-posure

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
When a culture supports a belief in abstinence until marriage, there is usually a belief that teach-ing children about sex will promote sexual activity. While the other options may represent beliefs held by the culture as well, its primary concern appears to be sexual activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 4
The primary infection stage lasts for about a month after contracting the virus. During this time, the person often experiences flu-like symptoms. Then, the person enters the clinical latency phase; at this time, the person has no symptoms of infection. HIV antibodies appear in the blood about 6 weeks to 3 months following infection. If left untreated, people who are infected with HIV will live about 10 years. The last stage, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), occurs when the person begins to show symptoms of the disease. Highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) has greatly increased the survival time of persons who live with HIV/AIDS.
