The male client is wearing a silver amulet to protect from evil spirits. Which action should the nurse take when sending the client to surgery?
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Unprotected sex increases STD risk (e.g., HIV, chlamydia), a key teaching point for adolescents, per CDC guidelines.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is admitting a female client to the medical-surgical unit when the client tells the nurse she takes many vitamins to keep her healthy. Which statement is the nurse's most appropriate response to the information provided by the client?
