Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This patient has signs and symptoms consistent with gonorrhea. Herpes simplex manifests as vesicles on the penis or testes (or both) with a watery discharge. Nongonococcal urethritis results in ulcers on the urethral site. Syphilis is characterized by chancres and skin lesions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Chlamydial infections are frequently asymptomatic in women and may be asymptomatic in men; they can cause sterility in women. C. trachomatis conjunctivitis in newborns does not result in blindness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends routine screening in sexually active women under age 25 and for those over age 25 with new partners or multiple partners. Treatment should begin when infections are identified, regardless of whether they are symptomatic.
