Explanation:
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease which is caused by two types of viruses named as simple virus type 1 and simple virus type 2. The symptoms includes the appearance of blisters that can be called as outbreak. The general symptoms in males includes the blisters on the penis, buttocks, anus and scrotum. The general symptoms for females include the appearance of blisters over vagina, buttocks and anus.
1. is the correct option, this is because of the fact that genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease thus a sexual contact should be avoided. The use of condoms can avoid the contact of reproductive organs but the lesions may appear in regions near the reproductive organs and may spread the infection to the other partner. Hence, the client need for further teaching.
The elimination of avoidable social and economic practices and policies creates problems in all branches of society. This elimination ends up marginalizing one group in favor of another. This marginalized group ends up suffering discrimination and prejudice and does not receive the proper services that by right should be received by all. This is no different in the health sector. A government that promotes the elimination of avoidable social and economic practices and policies that create barriers to improving the health of certain demographic groups leads to all health discrimination. This severely harms the poorest class, preventing the entire population from receiving health care of the same quality.
