b. "I will have my partner take the antibiotics if any STI symptoms occur."
c. "I will make sure that my partner takes all of the prescribed medication."
d. "I will have my partner use a condom until I have finished the antibiotics."
ANS: C
With expedited partner therapy, the patient is given a prescription or medications for the partner. The partner does not need to be evaluated by the health care provider, but is presumed to be infected and should be treated concurrently with the patient. Use of a condom will not treat the presumed STI in the partner.
