Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Women often experience few early manifestations of sexually transmitted infection, delaying diagnosis and treatment. Women have higher rates of gonorrhea and Chlamydia, whereas men, especially men who have sex with men, have higher rates of syphilis. Women and infants are disproportionately affected by STIs. The incidence of STIs is highest among people of color.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The client has a history of sexually transmitted infections. The nurse should discuss with the client a plan for sexual partners to be contacted regarding the diagnosis. The need to increase fluids, rest, and nutrition are important, but not as important as the client contacting sexual partners regarding the diagnosis. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid, not just limit, sexual contact until recovered from the illness.
