A school nurse is responsible for teaching adolescents about sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). When discussing chlamydia, the nurse instructs the students that it is:
 
  1. A viral infection that cannot be cured
  2. Treated with a full course of antibiotics
  3. Contracted via blood-borne exchange
  4. Prevented with the use of spermicidals

Question 2

A client is concerned that she and her husband, now that they have a baby in the house, will be unable to maintain a healthy sexual relationship. To assist these clients, it would be most helpful for the nurse to know:
 
  1. If they share parenting beliefs
  2. How long they have been married
  3. How comfortable they are in communicating their feelings to each other
  4. The level of knowledge they have regarding healthy sexual relationships

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
Diseases that are caused by bacteria and that can usually be cured with antibiotics include gon-orrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, and pelvic inflammatory disease. All clients need to understand that antibiotics need to be taken for the full course of treatment. Chlamydia is caused by bacteria that can be treated, not a virus. Sexually transmitted diseases, such as chlamydia, are transmitted from infected individuals to partners during intimate sexual contact. It is not contracted via blood-borne exchange, but rather through body fluids. Chlamydia is not prevented with the use of spermicidals.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
In response to identified concerns, the nurse may initiate discussion. Knowing of the comfort level in communicating their feelings provides an open dialogue enabling the client to talk freely with the nurse to address the concerns. To assist the clients in their situational change, the nurse needs to explore communication and sexual patterns of the couple. Having similar parenting be-liefs will have less impact on their sexual relationship. To assist the couple in adjusting to the change of becoming a family, the nurse needs to explore communication patterns of the couple. How long they have been married would be less significant. The level of knowledge they have regarding healthy sexual relationships would not be as impacting on their sexual relationship as would their ability to discuss their feelings with one another.
