2. 22-year-old mother of two, developed dyspareunia
3. 35-year-old woman on oral contraceptives
4. 48-year-old woman with hot flashes and night sweats
1
Rationale:
1. Teens have the highest incidence of sexually transmitted infections, especially Chlamydia. A client not using contraceptives is not using condoms, which decrease the risk of contracting a STI.
2. Dyspareunia sometimes develops with Chlamydia infection, but dyspareunia is not a symptom specific to Chlamydia.
3. There is no correlation between oral contraceptive use and an increased rate of Chlamydia infection. Additionally, Chlamydia is more commonly seen in young women.
4. This client is experiencing signs of menopause, not Chlamydia infection.
