Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Kathryn has not noticed any cervical secretions, it is likely that she is currently in a non-fertile phase of her menstrual cycle. Therefore, the likelihood of pregnancy is low and she can engage in intercourse without the risk of pregnancy. However, this method does not protect against sexually transmitted infections, so barrier methods should still be used if there is a risk of STI transmission. Options A and E can be ruled out as there is no information given to suggest a bacterial STI or STI testing. Option B cannot be inferred without additional information or testing. Option C is not necessary as the likelihood of pregnancy is low based on the method Kathryn is using.
