In discussion with teenagers, the nurse chooses to use the term sexually transmitted infection rather than sexually transmitted disease. What is the rationale for this choice?
 
  1. Infection is a much more precise term for the transmission that occurs.
  2. The word disease may elicit guilt, shame, and fear in the client.
  3. Sexually transmitted disease does not receive as much third-party reimbursement as does sexually transmitted infection.
  4. These terms can be used interchangeably and there is no good rationale for using one over the other.
