Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should remind the patient to always use a condom with sexual activity to prevent the transmission of HPV and other sexually transmitted diseases. Chemical barriers are not necessary for contraception if the patient or his partner is already using some form of birth control. While it is important to ask every partner if they have a diagnosed STD, this alone does not provide protection from transmission during sexual activity. Efforts to prevent reinfection should also be discussed, but the primary focus should be on preventing transmission to his partner(s).
