The nurse knows that when a society or culture supports sexual abstinence outside of marriage, it avoids providing sex education to its children because it is believed that to do so would:

1. Erode traditional family values
2. Promote premarital sexual activity
3. Be too emotionally traumatic for both parent and child
4. Put the child at an increased risk for disease and pregnancy

When a culture supports a belief in abstinence until marriage, there is usually a belief that teach-ing children about sex will promote sexual activity. While the other options may represent beliefs held by the culture as well, its primary concern appears to be sexual activity.
