Maternal Child Nursing 5th Edition by McKinney- ISBN- 978-0323401708 TEST BANK Chapter 41: The Child with an Infectious Disease Verified 2024 Practice Questions and 100% Correct Answers with Explanations for Exam Preparation, Graded A+ Which statement made by an adolescent girl indicates an understanding about the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)? a. “I know the only way to prevent STDs is to not be sexually active.” b. “I practice safe sex because I wash myself right after sex.” c. “I won’t get any kind of STD because I take the pill.” d. “I only have sex if my boyfriend wears a condom.” ANS: A Abstinence is the only foolproof way to prevent an STD. STDs are transmitted through body fluids (semen, vaginal fluids, blood). Perineal hygiene will not prevent an STD. Oral contraceptives do not protect women from contracting STDs. A condom can reduce but not eliminate an individual’s chance of acquiring an STD. However, the nurse should encourage condom use 100% of the time to decrease the risk.

Which STD should the nurse suspect when an adolescent girl comes to the clinic because she has a vaginal discharge that is white with a fishy smell? a. Human papillomavirus b. Bacterial vaginosis c. Trichomonas d. Chlamydia ANS: B Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by a profuse, white, malodorous (fishy smelling) vaginal discharge that sticks to the vaginal walls. Manifestations of the human papillomavirus are anogenital warts that begin as small papules and grow into clustered lesions. Infections with Trichomonas are frequently asymptomatic. Symptoms in females may include dysuria, vaginal itching, burning, and a frothy, yellowish- green, foulsmelling discharge. Many people with chlamydial infection have few or no symptoms. Urethritis with dysuria, urinary frequency, or mucopurulent discharge may indicate chlamydial infection.
