A nurse is caring for a client who is menopausal and asks the nurse about the use of herbal therapies to reduce her discomfort. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?

Rationale:

A. Using a pacifier during naps and bedtime is recommended as it has been associated with a decreased risk of SIDS.

B. Bed-sharing, especially with a breastfeeding mother, is a risk factor for SIDS. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends room-sharing without bed-sharing.

C. Placing the baby on her back for sleep is a safe sleep practice and helps reduce the risk of SIDS.

D. Removing blankets and toys from the crib reduces the risk of suffocation and is a recommended safe sleep practice.

Rationale:

A. Green penile discharge is not a typical finding in genital herpes. Discharge associated with genital herpes is usually clear or cloudy and may be accompanied by pain or itching.

B. Influenza-like symptoms, such as fever, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue, are common manifestations of genital herpes. However, they are not specific to the condition and can occur with various viral infections.

C. Anuria, or the absence of urine production, is not associated with genital herpes. It is a symptom of renal dysfunction or urinary tract obstruction.

D. White- or flesh-colored papillary growths in the genital area, known as genital warts or condylomata acuminata, are a characteristic finding of genital herpes caused by HSV 2. These growths are typically painless but can cause itching or discomfort.
