Explanation:

• "Is Evelyn good at remembering to take medication each day?": If considering hormonal contraceptives (which require daily intake for some types), this is relevant.
• "Would they like to have children in the near future?": Helps determine contraceptive methods (e.g., non - permanent vs permanent).
• "Could either of them unknowingly have an STD?": Important for choosing barrier methods (like condoms) to prevent STD transmission.
• "Are either of them allergic to latex or polyurethane?": Affects condom choice (e.g., latex - free condoms if allergic to latex).
• "Are they going to engage in other sexual activities as well as intercourse?": Some protective methods (like dental dams for oral sex) may be needed depending on activities.
• "Is this the first time either of them has had sex?": Irrelevant to choosing preventive methods as past sexual history (not just first - time status) in terms of STDs and contraceptive experience (but not just first - time) is more important.
