Question

which is a short-term goal related to maintaining reproductive and sexual health?
○ asking friends for advice
○ practicing refusal methods
○ occasionally using contraceptives
○ committing to being married before having children

Explanation:

• Option 1: Asking friends for advice may not directly contribute to maintaining reproductive and sexual health as friends' advice may not be accurate or reliable.
• Option 2: Practicing refusal methods (e.g., saying no to unwanted sexual advances) is a short - term, actionable step to protect one's sexual health by avoiding risky sexual situations.
• Option 3: Occasionally using contraceptives is not a good practice for reproductive health. Contraceptives should be used consistently and correctly if the goal is to prevent pregnancy or STIs.
• Option 4: Committing to being married before having children is a long - term life - planning goal rather than a short - term goal related to maintaining reproductive and sexual health.

Answer:

B. practicing refusal methods
