A client visited her health care provider and was diagnosed with acute cervicitis. A clinical manifestation that accompanies acute cervicitis may include:

A) Abscess formation
B) Mucopurulent drainage
C) Thick gray-white plaques
D) Persistent pruritic vulvitis


Ans: B
Feedback:
With acute cervicitis, the cervix becomes reddened and edematous; irritation from the infection results in copious mucopurulent drainage and leukorrhea. Bartholin gland obstruction causes a cyst to form, becomes purulent, and results in abscess formation. Lichen simplex chronicus lesions are labial thick, gray-white plaques. Squamous cell vulvar carcinoma is characterized by a recurrent, persistent, pruritic vulvitis, sometimes as the only complaint.
