A clinic nurse is assessing a client who has measles. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?

Choice A reason: You should avoid sexual contact until therapy is complete. This is to prevent the transmission of the infection to others, and to avoid reinfection or complications. The usual treatment for chlamydia is a single dose of an antibiotic, such as azithromycin or doxycycline. You should abstain from sexual activity for at least 7 days after taking the medication.

Choice B reason: Notify anyone with whom you have had sexual contact over the past 2 months. This is to inform them of their possible exposure to the infection, and to encourage them to get tested and treated if necessary. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that can cause pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and neonatal complications. It can also increase the risk of acquiring or transmitting other STIs, such as HIV.

Choice C reason: You will need to take an antiviral medication for 30 days. This is not a correct information that the nurse should include in the teaching. Chlamydia is a bacterial infection, not a viral infection. Antiviral medications are not effective against chlamydia, and are not indicated for its treatment.

Choice D reason: Once you complete treatment, you will have an acquired immunity against chlamydia. This is not a correct information that the nurse should include in the teaching. Chlamydia does not confer immunity, and you can get infected again if you are exposed to the bacteria. You should get tested for chlamydia at least once a year, or more often if you have multiple or new sexual partners.

Choice E reason: You might experience painful urination until the infection has resolved. This is a correct information that the nurse should include in the teaching. Chlamydia can cause inflammation and irritation of the urethra, which can result in dysuria, or painful or difficult urination. Other symptoms of chlamydia may include abnormal vaginal or penile discharge, lower abdominal pain, bleeding between periods, or pain during sex. However, some people may not have any symptoms, and may not know they are infected. Therefore, it is important to get tested regularly and to use condoms to prevent the spread of the infection.

Choice A reason: Scheduling bone density screening is an appropriate outcome for the program, as it helps to detect and prevent osteoporosis, a common condition among postmenopausal women. Bone density screening is recommended for women aged 65 years and older, or younger women with risk factors.

Choice B reason: Arranging for mammograms every 3 years is not an appropriate outcome for the program, as it does not follow the current guidelines for breast cancer screening. The American Cancer Society recommends that women aged 45 to 54 years should have mammograms every year, and women aged 55 years and older should have mammograms every 2 years, or continue yearly screening if they prefer.

Choice C reason: Starting hormone replacement therapy is not an appropriate outcome for the program, as it is not a universal recommendation for postmenopausal women. Hormone replacement therapy may have benefits and risks depending on the individual's health history, symptoms, and preferences. It should be discussed with a health care provider before starting.

Choice D reason: Significantly decreasing caloric intake is not an appropriate outcome for the program, as it may lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health problems. Postmenopausal women should maintain a balanced diet that meets their nutritional needs and supports their weight management. A moderate reduction in caloric intake may be advised for overweight or obese women, but not a drastic one.
