After assessing the client, the nurse initiates the process for reporting the client's STI to the state health agency. Which client has the STI that the nurse is reporting?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
A. This illustrates acne vulgaris, which is not an STI. B. This illustrates herpes. While herpes simplex may not necessarily be state reportable, it is an STI. By state law, the incidence of some STIs must be reported to the state. C. This illustrates a contact dermatitis; in this client it was caused by nail polish. D. This illustrates candidiasis or thrush. This is not reportable.
