The nurse realizes that which of the following clients should be treated with ceftriaxone (Rocephin) IM and doxycycline (Vibramycin) orally?

1. A pregnant client with gonorrhea and a yeast infection
2. A nonpregnant client with gonorrhea and Chlamydia
3. A pregnant client with syphilis
4. A nonpregnant client with Chlamydia and trichomoniasis

Question 2

You are working with a teenager whose parents have refused to allow him back in their house. The client had been diagnosed as suffering from hopelessness.

The client tells you that he has accepted living at the local shelter for runaway youth and no longer feels hopeless about his situation. This evaluation may mean that the client:
1. needs to continue trying to win his parents back.
2. has achieved acceptance of a situation that cannot be changed.
3. is willing to be placed in foster care.
4. is unrealistic about his situation.

Answer to Question 1

2. A nonpregnant client with gonorrhea and Chlamydia

Rationale:
This combined treatment provides dual treatment for gonorrhea and Chlamydia because the two infections frequently occur together. Doxycycline is contraindicated during pregnancy. Syphilis is treated with penicillin. Trichomoniasis is treated with metronidazole.
