A man diagnosed with epididymitis 2 days ago calls the nurse at a health clinic to discuss the problem. What information is most important for the nurse to ask about at this time?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Did your provider recommend that you be tested for Chlamydia?' Epididymitis can result from Chlamydia infection, in which case the client's sexual partners should be tested as well. All of the questions should be asked, however, determining the reason for the client's referral is the most important to start with.
