Question 1 of 5
The public health nurse understands that which of the following statements best explains why (Herpes Simplex Virus 2) HSV-2 infection is more challenging for a client than gonorrhea infection?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: HSV-2 is a viral infection that is both chronic and incurable. This is because HSV-2 is a lifelong infection that can recur periodically, causing painful sores and potential complications. Unlike gonorrhea, which is a bacterial infection that can be cured with antibiotics, HSV-2 cannot be completely eradicated from the body. This makes managing symptoms and preventing transmission more challenging for the client.
Choice B is incorrect because the cost of treatment does not necessarily make HSV-2 more challenging than gonorrhea.
Choice C is incorrect because while HSV-2 can lead to serious complications, it is not usually life-threatening like HIV.
Choice D is incorrect because while some individuals may experience fewer outbreaks over time, they are not immune to further outbreaks.
