Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. The use of latex condoms. Latex condoms are highly effective in reducing the transmission of many STIs when used consistently and correctly.
B. Avoiding sexual contact if a partner is known to have an STI. While avoiding contact with an infected partner is important, many people may not know if their partner is infected, and this does not provide protection against unknown infections.
C. Vaccination against vaccine-preventable STIs. While vaccination is important (e.g., for HPV and hepatitis B), it does not protect against all STIs.
D. Limiting sexual partners. Limiting sexual partners can reduce risk but does not eliminate the risk of STIs if other protective measures are not used.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "With your recurrent history, one of these times the cyst will be malignant.": This response is not appropriate as it may cause unnecessary fear and is not supportive or informative.
B. "I appreciate your concern regarding another surgical procedure. Would you like to discuss your concerns?": This response validates the client's feelings and opens a dialogue for further discussion, allowing the client to express her concerns and receive appropriate information and support.
C. "The surgical procedure is minimal, and you will not have to be concerned after you learn the results.": This response dismisses the client's concerns and does not provide an opportunity for discussion.
D. "A prolonged ovarian abnormality should be evaluated thoroughly.": While this statement is true, it does not address the client's immediate concerns and does not encourage an open
discussion.
