Question

Education on sexual health should take into consideration the age and sexual experience of the audience.For teens who have not yet had sexual intercourse,an abstinence-only program might make sense.However,if the teens have already engaged in sexual intercourse,they are likely to continue this behavior,and the program should focus on using condoms in order to avoid unprotected sex and its risks.Abstinence-only programs cannot be characterized as being of no value.Encouraging teens to ask questions off the prepared topic is a passive-aggressive action.It is not up to the nurse to decide if teens should have sex or not.
