A nurse midwife is assessing four female clients with signs and symptoms involving the reproductive system. All clients are engaging in heterosexual sexual relationships. The nurse midwife requires identification and treatment of sexual partners of all of the following clients except:
  1. A client diagnosed with genital herpes.
  2. A client diagnosed with chlamydia.
  3. A client diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis.
  4. A client with hepatitis B.
Explanation
Answer: C - A client diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis is not required to identify her sexual partners for treatment. Engaging in unprotected sex increases the risk for bacterial vaginosis for women only, and it is believed that bacterial vaginosis can be transmitted between women. Therefore, only women who engage in sexual relationships with other women need to identify their sexual partners for treatment of bacterial vaginosis.
