Question 1 of 5
The client is diagnosed with primary syphilis. Which symptoms should the nurse observe?
Correct Answer: A

The 24-year-old female client presents to the clinic with lower abdominal pain on the left side she rates as a '9' on a 1-to-10 scale. Which diagnostic procedure should the nurse prepare the client for?
