Question

The nurse working in a free health clinic assess a 17-year-old client interested in contraceptives. Which statement, if said by the client, would indicate that female or male condoms would be the appropriate recommendation for this client?

Answer 1

Answer:

"Last year I was diagnosed with HPV."

Explanation:

Although the client has come for a contraceptive, once the client indicates having been diagnosed with HPV, it is recommended that the nurse would recommend male or female condoms as a way to stop further spread of the virus. Although HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection that most times goes away by itself, it is very important for the nurse to recommend a solution that will stop the spread because some types of HPV can lead to genital warts or even cancer.
