Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
For the goal of recovering from PID without long-term effects, the nurse should practice thorough hand hygiene and disinfect bedpan and toilet set to avoid disseminating the infection to others. The nurse should also administer antibiotic therapy as prescribed and monitor for adverse effects of antibiotic therapy because these antibiotics can be potent and have serious side effects. Instructing on perineal care would be applicable for the goal of understanding the pathophysiology of PID.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2, 3, 4, 5
The patient should have an annual Pap smear. The provider should be contacted for any nausea or diarrhea. The patient should return to the clinic for regular treatments until the warts are gone. The medication should be washed off the treated area in 1 to 4 hours after the first application. Sexual activity should be avoided until the patient and partners are disease free for 1 month.
