Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client with epididymitis secondary to a chlamydia infection. Which discharge instruction should the nurse discuss?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Chlamydia-related epididymitis requires partner treatment to prevent reinfection. Prolonged abstinence, white clumps in urine, and scrotal drainage are not expected.
Question 2 of 5
The occupational health nurse is preparing a class regarding sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) for employees at a manufacturing plant. Which high-risk behavior information should be included in the class information?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Multiple sexual partners increase STD risk due to greater exposure. Oral/anal sex carries risk, sterile needles prevent bloodborne STDs but not others, and condoms reduce but don’t eliminate risk.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is working in a health clinic. Which disease is required to be reported to the public health department?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Syphilis is a reportable STD to track and control spread, per public health regulations. PID, epididymitis, and ectopic pregnancy are not typically reportable.
Question 4 of 5
The outpatient clinic nurse is working with clients diagnosed with sexually transmitted diseases (STD). Which long-term complication should the nurse discuss with the clients about STDs?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: STDs like chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infertility or ectopic pregnancy, a critical long-term complication. Antibiotic completion, reporting, and AIDS myths are important but not complications.
