As part of client/partner education,the nurse should explain the expedited partner therapy (practice of treating both sexual partners by providing medication to the client for the partner).The nurse should also emphasize the need for abstinence from sexual intercourse until treatment is finished,proper use of condoms,and re-screening for re-infection 3 to 12 months after treatment.The use of an intrauterine device and oral contraception is not part of the plan.
