The nurse is planning care for a client with a history of sexually transmitted infections. What should be included in this plan of care?
A) Instruction to limit sexual contact until recovered from illness
B) Plan for the client to contact sexual partners regarding the diagnosis
C) Need to increase fluids and rest
D) Importance of adequate nutrition
Answer: B
The client has a history of sexually transmitted infections. The nurse should discuss with the client a plan for sexual partners to be contacted regarding the diagnosis. The need to increase fluids, rest, and nutrition are important, but not as important as the client contacting sexual partners regarding the diagnosis. The nurse should instruct the client to avoid, not just limit, sexual contact until recovered from the illness.
