A client is concerned about the prevalence of STIs in different regions. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, which region had the highest burden of four curable STIs (chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis) in 2016?

Choice A rationale:

While preventing complications and spread is important, this response doesn't directly address the client's fear of stigmatization.

Choice B rationale:

This response downplays the client's concerns and may not provide adequate reassurance.

Choice C rationale:

While notifying sexual partners is essential, this response doesn't address the client's specific fear of stigma.

Choice D rationale:

This choice directly addresses the client's concern about privacy and stigma. Ensuring confidentiality can help the client feel more comfortable seeking treatment.

Choice A rationale:

This choice is incorrect. Routine screening and testing for STIs fall under primary prevention, aiming to prevent the initial occurrence of infections.

Choice B rationale:

This choice is incorrect. Providing wound care and comfort measures is a component of secondary prevention, focusing on early detection and treatment of existing infections.

Choice C rationale:

This choice is incorrect. Vaccination against hepatitis B and human papillomavirus is a form of primary prevention, reducing the risk of acquiring these specific infections.

Choice D rationale:

This choice is correct. Tertiary prevention involves managing chronic conditions that result from STIs, such as HIV/AIDS, to improve quality of life and prevent complications.
