Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    Sex is not a way to __________.

    • A.

      Prove your love

    • B.

      Increase your self-worth

    • C.

      Bargain for attention

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    D. All of the above
    Explanation
    Sex is not a way to prove your love because love should be based on emotional connection and trust, not physical intimacy. It is also not a way to increase your self-worth because self-worth should come from within and not be dependent on sexual activity. Additionally, using sex as a means to bargain for attention is not healthy or respectful in a relationship. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above" as sex should not be used for any of these purposes.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    Which of the following consequences usually results from choosing to be sexually active as a teen?

    • A.

      A high level of self-worth

    • B.

      Emotional insecurities and regrets

    • C.

      A proven level of maturity

    • D.

      A loving, long-term relationship

    Correct Answer
    B. Emotional insecurities and regrets
    Explanation
    Choosing to be sexually active as a teen usually results in emotional insecurities and regrets. This is because teenagers may not have the emotional maturity or experience to handle the complexities and potential consequences of a sexual relationship. They may experience feelings of guilt, regret, and insecurity, as well as potential negative emotional and psychological impacts. It is important for teenagers to understand the potential risks and consequences of engaging in sexual activity at a young age.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Barrier methods of birth control are more effective than hormonal methods.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Barrier methods of birth control are not more effective than hormonal methods. Hormonal methods such as birth control pills, patches, or injections are considered to be highly effective at preventing pregnancy, with a failure rate of less than 1%. On the other hand, barrier methods like condoms or diaphragms have a higher failure rate, ranging from 12-21%. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Hormone methods, such as birth control pills, protect against STIs.

    • A.

      True

    • B.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    Hormone methods, such as birth control pills, are effective in preventing pregnancy but do not provide protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs are primarily transmitted through sexual contact and can only be prevented by using barrier methods such as condoms or practicing abstinence. It is important to use both contraception and barrier methods to ensure protection against both pregnancy and STIs.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following is NOT about birth control?

    • A.

      Using birth control does not guarantee that a teen is safe from becoming pregnant.

    • B.

      Some forms of birth control are less effective for teens.

    • C.

      Birth control must be used correctly to be effective.

    • D.

      It doesn't matter which form of birth control a person uses because they all have the same level of effectiveness.

    Correct Answer
    D. It doesn't matter which form of birth control a person uses because they all have the same level of effectiveness.
    Explanation
    The given correct answer states that it doesn't matter which form of birth control a person uses because they all have the same level of effectiveness. This statement is incorrect because different forms of birth control have different levels of effectiveness. Some methods, such as hormonal contraceptives or intrauterine devices (IUDs), are highly effective at preventing pregnancy, while others, such as condoms or spermicides, have lower effectiveness rates. Therefore, it is important for individuals to choose a birth control method that is most suitable for their needs and preferences, considering its effectiveness in preventing pregnancy.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the most effective method of birth control?

    • A.

      Diaphragm

    • B.

      IUD

    • C.

      Withdrawal

    • D.

      Abstinence

    Correct Answer
    D. Abstinence
    Explanation
    Abstinence is considered the most effective method of birth control because it involves refraining from any sexual activity that could result in pregnancy. Unlike other methods, such as the diaphragm, IUD, or withdrawal, abstinence completely eliminates the risk of unintended pregnancies. It is a reliable option for individuals who are not ready for or do not want to engage in sexual activity.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Which of the following is NOT a hormone method of birth control?

    • A.

      Sponge

    • B.

      Birth control patch

    • C.

      Vaginal ring

    • D.

      IUD

    Correct Answer
    A. Sponge
    Explanation
    The sponge is not a hormone method of birth control because it does not release any hormones into the body. Instead, it works as a barrier method by physically blocking the sperm from reaching the egg. The birth control patch, vaginal ring, and IUD are all hormone-based methods of birth control that release hormones into the body to prevent pregnancy.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Who is at the greatest risk of contracting STIs?

    • A.

      A sexually active person at age 16

    • B.

      A sexually active person at age 20

    • C.

      A sexually active person at age 22

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. A sexually active person at age 16
    Explanation
    The correct answer is a sexually active person at age 16. This is because individuals who engage in sexual activity at a younger age are generally less experienced and may be less likely to use protection or engage in safe sexual practices. Additionally, younger individuals may have a higher number of sexual partners, which increases their risk of contracting sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is important for individuals of all ages to practice safe sex and get tested regularly, but the risk tends to be higher for younger sexually active individuals.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Which of the following is not a way in which the hormone method of birth control prevents pregnancy?

    • A.

      Thins lining of uterus

    • B.

      Prevents ovaries from releasing eggs

    • C.

      Thickens mucus

    • D.

      Causes ovaries to release extra eggs

    Correct Answer
    D. Causes ovaries to release extra eggs
    Explanation
    The hormone method of birth control works by preventing ovulation, which is the release of eggs from the ovaries. It does not cause the ovaries to release extra eggs. This method also thickens the mucus in the cervix, making it difficult for sperm to reach the egg, and thins the lining of the uterus, making it less receptive to implantation.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Which of the following contraceptive methods do men NOT use?

    • A.

      Condom

    • B.

      Vasectomy

    • C.

      IUD

    • D.

      Withdrawal

    Correct Answer
    C. IUD
    Explanation
    Men do not use IUDs as a contraceptive method. IUD stands for intrauterine device, which is a small T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Since men do not have a uterus, they cannot use an IUD as a contraceptive method.
