A)The client has gonorrhea and a history of sexually transmitted infections. The nurse should therefore encourage the client to develop a plan for contacting sexual partners regarding the diagnosis. Increasing fluids, rest, and nutrition are important, but not as important as contacting sexual partners to protect their health and limit the spread of disease. In addition, the nurse should instruct the client to avoid sexual contact until recovered from the current illness, but not necessarily to avoid all future sexual contact.
