The answer is: Provide information about chlamydia screening.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Ensure the patient is over the age of 16 before discussing sexual health.
    This option is incorrect. Sexual health education should be provided based on the individual's developmental stage and needs, not strictly by age. Adolescents may become sexually active before the age of 16, and it is important to provide them with the necessary information to make informed decisions.

  2. Provide information about chlamydia screening.
    This option is correct. Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI) among adolescents, and providing information about screening is an important aspect of sexual health education. It helps in early detection and treatment, preventing complications and further transmission.

  3. Stress the importance of the use of condoms if the patient has multiple sexual partners.
    While this option is partially correct, it is not comprehensive. The use of condoms should be stressed for all sexually active individuals, regardless of the number of partners, to prevent STIs and unintended pregnancies.

  4. Explain that barrier methods (such as condoms) are needed only for vaginal intercourse.
    This option is incorrect. Barrier methods like condoms are important for all types of sexual activity, including oral and anal intercourse, to reduce the risk of STIs. Limiting the discussion to vaginal intercourse does not provide comprehensive sexual health education.
