While obtaining a health history from a male adolescent during a well check-up, the nurse assesses his sexual behavior and risk for sexually transmitted infections. Based on the information, the nurse plans to teach the adolescent about using a condom. What statement would the nurse include in the teaching plan?

Choice A: Rectal incontinence is not the correct answer because it is not a disorder related to pelvic organ prolapse. Rectal incontinence is a condition that causes loss of control over bowel movements, resulting in leakage of stool or gas. It can be caused by various factors, such as nerve damage, muscle weakness, or diarrhea.

Choice B: Rectocele is the correct answer because it is a disorder related to pelvic organ prolapse. Rectocele is a condition that occurs when the rectum bulges into the vagina due to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue. It can cause symptoms such as constipation, difficulty emptying the bowel, or a feeling of pressure or fullness in the vagina.

Choice C: Urinary incontinence is the correct answer because it is a disorder related to pelvic organ prolapse. Urinary incontinence is a condition that causes loss of control over urination, resulting in leakage of urine or urgency to urinate. It can be caused by various factors, such as stress, urge, overflow, or mixed types of incontinence.

Choice D: Cystocele is the correct answer because it is a disorder related to pelvic organ prolapse. Cystocele is a condition that occurs when the bladder bulges into the vagina due to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue. It can cause symptoms such as frequent urination, difficulty emptying the bladder, or a feeling of pressure or fullness in the vagina.

Choice E: Enterocele is the correct answer because it is a disorder related to pelvic organ prolapse. Enterocele is a condition that occurs when the small intestine bulges into the vagina due to weakening of the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissue. It can cause symptoms such as lower back pain, pelvic pressure, or difficulty having bowel movements.

Choice A: "If your sexual partner has no symptoms, no medication is needed." This statement is false and misleading. Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause serious complications such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, ectopic pregnancy, and chronic pelvic pain if left untreated. Chlamydia can also be passed on to newborns during delivery, causing eye infections or pneumonia. Therefore, it is important that both the client and their sexual partner(s) receive treatment and abstain from sexual activity until they are cured.

Choice B: "This infection is treated with one dose of azithromycin." This statement is true and accurate. Azithromycin is an antibiotic that can effectively treat chlamydia with one oral dose. However, some people may experience side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain after taking azithromycin. Therefore, it is important that the client follows the instructions and completes the treatment as prescribed.

Choice C: "You need to return in 6 months for retesting." This statement is false and unnecessary. Retesting for chlamydia is recommended only if the client has symptoms, has a new or multiple sexual partner(s), or is pregnant. Otherwise, retesting is not required if the client and their partner(s) have completed the treatment and have no further exposure to chlamydia.

Choice D: "You have to avoid sexual relations for 3 days." This statement is false and insufficient. The client should avoid sexual relations until they and their partner(s) have completed the treatment and have no symptoms of chlamydia. This may take longer than 3 days, depending on the type and duration of the treatment. Therefore, it is advisable that the client uses condoms or abstains from sexual activity until they are cured.
