Answer to Question 1

1. Trichomoniasis

Rationale:
Frothy yellowgreen discharge is seen in trichomoniasis. A yellow discharge can be seen in chlamydial infection. Vaginitis indicates a nonspecific inflammation of the vagina. Green discharge that has a foul smell is associated with gonorrhea.

Answer to Question 2

3. Placing droplet and contact precaution signs on the client room

Rationale:
To prevent the spread of influenza, the client is placed in a private room with signs for droplet and contact precautions, and the client and family are taught these precautions. There is no indication that this client will need a ventilator. Placing signs on the door is the way to notify other departments of precautions. Negative air flow rooms are for diseases such as chicken pox, measles, and SARS.
