Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ceftriaxone and doxycycline are the recommended treatment for nonpregnant clients with gonorrhea and chlamydia co-infection. Pregnant clients with these infections may require alternate treatments. Option A is incorrect because ceftriaxone is not the primary treatment for syphilis in pregnancy, penicillin is. Option C is incorrect because doxycycline is contraindicated in pregnancy and the treatment for yeast infections is typically with topical or oral antifungal medication. Option D is incorrect because trichomoniasis is typically treated with metronidazole, not doxycycline.
