Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3
Bacterial vaginosis is not a reportable disease. Syphilis and gonorrhea are both reportable diseases. Trichomonas and vaginal candidiasis are not reportable diseases.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
The patient should be educated on her risk factor of multiple sex partners. The incidence of STIs is highest from ages 15 to 24. Unprotected sexual contact as well as multiple sexual partners increases the incidence of STIs. That the patient is living with her grandmother and is allergic to penicillin will not help determine needed teaching.
