Correct Answer is D

Explanation

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.

A. Nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) using urine samples. B. Serologic test using blood sample. C. Wet mount microscopy using vaginal discharge. D. Visual inspection of genital warts.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

NAAT is a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic method used to detect the genetic material of the causative organism. It is suitable for diagnosing gonorrhea and can be performed using urine samples, making it non-invasive and convenient.

Choice B rationale:

Serologic tests are used to detect antibodies produced by the body in response to infections. It is not the primary diagnostic method for confirming acute gonorrhea, as antibodies may take time to develop.

Choice C rationale:

Wet mount microscopy is more commonly used to diagnose Trichomonas vaginalis, not gonorrhea. It involves examining vaginal discharge under a microscope to identify the parasite.

Choice D rationale:

Visual inspection of genital warts is not relevant to diagnosing gonorrhea. It is used for diagnosing and assessing the severity of warts caused by HPV.
