Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
All of these organisms can be acquired through nonsexual transmission, usually from a mother to an infant either prenatally or during delivery.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most important information the nurse can provide is that male partners should always be treated, even if they are asymptomatic. Gels are not indicated for T. vaginalis; oral medications are. T. vaginalis infection can be easily treated with a single dose of metronidazole or tinidazole. Both medications are given as a single dose.
