Health Promotion and Maintenance NCLEX PN Questions - Nurselytic

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The best response for the LPN to provide to a pregnant client concerned about preventing Group B Strep is that it cannot be prevented, only treated. Group B Strep is a normal flora found in the vagina, rectum, and intestines of about 25% of women and is not a sexually transmitted disease. Testing for Group B Strep is done in each pregnancy, usually around 35-37 weeks. If a woman tests positive, antibiotics are administered during labor to reduce the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby.
Choice A is the correct answer as Group B Strep cannot be prevented but only treated.
Choice B is incorrect; condom use does not prevent Group B Strep.
Choice C is not the best response as hand-washing is important for general hygiene but does not specifically prevent Group B Strep.
Choice D is incorrect as there is no vaccine available to prevent Group B Strep.
