Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The client having no idea how the illness was contracted indicates a deficit in knowledge regarding the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. There is not enough information to determine if the client has sexual dysfunction, ineffective coping, or anxiety.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D, E

Manifestations of genital herpes include headache, fever, vaginal discharge, and back pain. Low blood pressure is not a manifestation of genital herpes.
