Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Abandon biases that older adults are sexually inactive. Older adults are sexually active and at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse should not make assumptions about the client's sexual activity based on age.

Option A, older clients who are sexually active have less risk for STIs than other age groups, is incorrect because older adults are at risk for STIs. Option C, older clients know the ways to prevent STIs, may not always be accurate.

Option D, older clients, because of their maturity, are rarely embarrassed to talk about it, is a generalization and may not be true for all older clients.
