Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs)

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) ( 15 Questions)

Question 1 :
A nurse is providing education to a group of adolescents about sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Which statement by the nurse accurately describes a risk factor for chlamydia?


Correct Answer: B

Choice A rationale:

The nurse correctly states that using condoms consistently during sexual intercourse can help prevent chlamydia.

Chlamydia is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, and barrier methods like condoms can reduce the risk of transmission.

Choice B rationale:

This is the correct answer.

Having a weakened immune system is indeed a risk factor for chlamydia.

Individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with HIV/AIDS, are more susceptible to various infections, including chlamydia.

Choice C rationale:

The nurse's statement about engaging in unprotected anal sex as a risk factor for chlamydia is accurate.

Chlamydia can be transmitted through various types of sexual intercourse, including anal sex, if a person is infected and precautions like condom use are not taken.

Choice D rationale:

While it is true that chlamydia can be transmitted from a mother to her fetus during pregnancy, this is not typically considered a common risk factor for chlamydia.

The primary mode of transmission is through sexual contact.
