Because the young man has presumably been taught the advantages of abstinence or protection for engaging in sex,and yet continues to return for further testing,it is clear that information alone has not changed his behavior.Therefore,the nurse should interview the client about his values and help him perceive how reducing his risks may help him achieve his goals.
