A nurse is taking a health history from a female client. The client asks to get the vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV) to get rid of genital warts. Which of the following statements should be the nurse's best response?

"This vaccine is only for individuals who have not yet started to become sexually active."

"The vaccine cannot protect you if you already have HPV infection."

"The HPV vaccine is for individuals ages 9 to 26 years, so we can start that today."

Let's check with the physician to see if you are a candidate for the vaccine.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

A.   HPV vaccination is recommended for both sexually active and non-sexually active individuals for preventive purposes. This statement restricts the vaccine unnecessarily.
B.   This statement is correct. The HPV vaccine works best if administered before exposure to the virus, so it is not effective in treating existing HPV infections or genital warts.
C.   While true that the HPV vaccine is typically recommended for individuals within a certain age range, this statement doesn't address the client's specific query about getting rid of existing genital warts.
D.   Involving the physician in vaccine candidacy is a good step but doesn't directly address the client's query about HPV infection and genital warts.
