A client reports experiencing vaginal dryness and atrophy. The nurse suspects atrophic vaginitis (AV) Which assessment finding supports this suspicion?

Choice A rationale:

Giving loperamide to stop diarrhea is not appropriate for a child with suspected gastroenteritis. Loperamide can slow down bowel movements and may lead to complications, especially in pediatric patients.

Choice B rationale:

Encouraging the child to drink plenty of fluids is crucial to prevent dehydration, a common concern in gastroenteritis. Fluid intake helps replace lost fluids and electrolytes due to vomiting and diarrhea.

Choice C rationale:

Avoiding food until vomiting stops can deprive the child of essential nutrients. Small, frequent, bland meals are recommended during recovery from gastroenteritis.

Choice D rationale:

Giving aspirin to a child with fever is contraindicated due to the risk of Reye's syndrome, a potentially fatal condition. Acetaminophen is the preferred antipyretic.

Choice A rationale:

Bacterial vaginosis (BV) typically presents with a thin gray or white discharge and is associated with a fishy odor. It is not known for a green-yellow discharge.

Choice B rationale:

Candidal vulvovaginitis (CV) often presents with a white, thick, cottage cheese-like discharge, not a green-yellow discharge.

Choice C rationale:

Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection can result in a thin, frothy, green-yellow vaginal discharge with a foul musty odor. This infection is sexually transmitted and may also cause itching and irritation.

Choice D rationale:

Atrophic vaginitis (AV) is not associated with a frothy, green-yellow discharge but rather with symptoms related to estrogen deficiency and vaginal thinning.
