Which statement indicates a client needs further instruction regarding STI prevention?

The statement indicating a need for further instruction regarding STI prevention reveals a misunderstanding of the comprehensive communication necessary for effective prevention. It's crucial for individuals engaged in sexual relationships to have open discussions about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) with all partners, rather than selectively discussing it with only some.

This approach fosters better awareness and reduces the risk of transmitting infections. Effective STI prevention relies not only on using condoms and understanding the importance of regular testing but also on ensuring that every partner is informed about STIs, their symptoms, and the measures taken to prevent transmission. Communication should be inclusive and proactive, addressing the health of both partners without hesitation or selectivity.

In contrast, the other statements demonstrate a baseline understanding or commitment to safe sex practices, such as consistent condom use, encouraging partners to use protection, and recognizing the importance of regular testing, which are key components of comprehensive STI prevention.
