| 1. | During unprotected sex, a 17-year-old female high school senior has been exposed to the human papillomavirus (HPV). The school nurse would recognize that the student is at a considerable risk of developing which of the following diagnoses? | |
| A) | Genital herpes | |
| B) | Gonorrhea | |
| C) | Condylomata acuminata | |
| D) | Candidiasis | |
| Ans: | C | |
| Feedback: | ||
| HPV is an identified precursor to condylomata acuminata, or genital warts. Herpes, gonorrhea, and candidiasis are not likely to result directly from HPV. | ||
| 2. | A campus-based peer counseling group is conducting an information blitz on sexually transmitted diseases. Which of the following statements about genital warts requires correction? | |
| A) | “Genital warts can take up to a month after exposure to first become visible.” | |
| B) | “There is no existing treatment that can eradicate the virus once it’s contracted.” | |
| C) | “Condoms do not necessarily prevent the transmission of the virus that causes genital warts.” | |
| D) | “There are a number of subtypes of the virus that cause genital warts, but current vaccines protect against most common causes of them.” | |
| Ans: | A | |
| Feedback: | ||
| Genital warts can take between 6 weeks to 8 months to incubate after exposure. The virus cannot be eliminated, and condoms do not provide proven protection. Vaccine protects against 4 HPV types. | ||
| 3. | A 31-year-old male was diagnosed with genital herpes of the HSV-2 type 5 years ago. He is now broaching the subject with a woman he has recently formed a relationship with. Which of his statements is most accurate? | |
| A) | “If you’ve been exposed to the herpes virus in the past, then there’s no significant risk of reinfection.” | |
| B) | “The worst case scenario is that you’ll develop cold sores, since this is the type of herpes virus that I’ve got.” | |
| C) | “If you’ve had cold sores when you were younger, it means that you’ve got antibodies against this type of herpes virus.” | |
| D) | “Even when I’m not having a recurrence, I could still pass the virus on to you.” | |
| Ans: | D | |
| Feedback: | ||
| HSV transmission can occur both during and between recurrences. HSV-2 is associated more with genital herpes than cold sores, and cold sores do not provide antibody protection. Prior contact with the virus does not confer immunity. | ||
| 4. | A male college student has arrived at the student clinic complaining of tingling, itching, and pains in his groin. Upon inspection, the nurse notices some pustules and vesicles. While taking a detailed sexual history, the nurse should ask which of the following questions to rule out further complications? | |
| A) | “Do you get cold sores very often?” | |
| B) | “Do you have pain when you urinate or have difficulty starting the stream?” | |
| C) | “Have you noticed excessive swelling in your scrotum the last few days?” | |
| D) | “Have you been experiencing flank pain and bloody urine?” | |
| Ans: | B | |
| Feedback: | ||
| The initial symptoms of primary genital herpes infections include tingling, itching, and pain in the genital area, followed by eruption of small pustules and vesicles. In men, the infection can cause urethritis and lesions of the penis and scrotum. Urethritis is characterized by pain with urination and difficulty starting the stream. Cold sores are not related to genital herpes. Swelling of the scrotum is common in epididymitis, while flank pain and bloody urine are associated primarily with kidney stone formation. | ||
