Explanation:
1. There is no correlation between oral contraceptive use and an increased rate of chlamydial infection. Additionally, chlamydial infection is more commonly seen in young women.
2. Dyspareunia sometimes develops with chlamydial infection, but dyspareunia is not a symptom specific to chlamydial infection.
3. Teens have the highest incidence of sexually transmitted infections, especially chlamydial infection. A client not using contraceptives is not using condoms, which decrease the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
4. This client is experiencing signs of menopause, not chlamydial infection.
