Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Rationale:

A. Take at different times of the day: Consistency in timing is typically recommended for hormone therapy to maintain stable hormone levels.

B. Take an extra dose if missed a day: It's not advisable to take extra doses of hormone therapy if a dose is missed without consulting a healthcare provider.

C. Prevents osteoporotic fractures: Menopausal hormone therapy, particularly estrogen therapy, can help prevent osteoporotic fractures by maintaining bone density.

D. Prevents from having a cerebral hemorrhage: While hormone therapy may have cardiovascular benefits, including a reduced risk of stroke, it is not primarily indicated for preventing cerebral hemorrhage.

A. Have the client douche every morning and night. B. Instruct the client to avoid alcohol for 72 hr after treatment. C. Administer metronidazole 2 g PO x 1 dose. D. Recommend the client's partner receive treatment. E. Perform an oatmeal sitz bath.

Correct Answer is ["B","C","D"]

Explanation

A. Having the client douche every morning and night is not recommended as it can disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora and exacerbate the condition. It may worsen symptoms and increase the risk of complications.

B. Instructing the client to avoid alcohol for 72 hours after treatment is not necessary in this scenario. Metronidazole is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial vaginosis and does not typically interact with alcohol.
C. Metronidazole is the treatment of choice for bacterial vaginosis, which is suggested by the client's symptoms (frothy, yellow-green, malodorous discharge) and the provider's likely diagnosis based on the clinical presentation.
D. Recommending the client's partner receive treatment is important to prevent reinfection or transmission of the infection. Bacterial vaginosis can be sexually transmitted, and treating both partners helps reduce the risk of recurrence.
E. Performing an oatmeal sitz bath may provide symptomatic relief for certain conditions, but it is not typically indicated for the treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
