Passage / Scenario
A nurse is caring for a client who is at 20 weeks of gestation and has trichomoniasis.Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: Malodorous discharge. This finding is indicative of a possible vaginal infection, such as bacterial vaginosis or trichomoniasis. It suggests an overgrowth of harmful bacteria or yeast. Thick, white vaginal discharge (choice A) is characteristic of a yeast infection. Vulva lesions (choice B) may indicate an STD or skin condition. Urinary frequency (choice C) is not typically associated with vaginal infections. In summary, malodorous discharge is the most concerning finding, as it signifies a possible infection, while the other choices are less specific or unrelated.
