Answer 1

The nurse should report unusual vaginal discharge, abnormal heart rate, fever, and dyspareunia to the provider.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse should report the following findings to the provider:

1. Vaginal discharge: Unusual vaginal discharge, particularly if it is accompanied by itching and discomfort, could indicate an infection or other underlying condition that requires medical attention.
2. Heart rate: If the heart rate is significantly abnormal, either too high or too low, it may indicate a cardiovascular problem that needs further evaluation.
3. Fever (temperature): If the temperature is high (above 100.4°F or 38°C), it may indicate an infection or other systemic issue that requires medical attention.
4. Dyspareunia: Dyspareunia refers to pain during sexual intercourse, and it may be a symptom of an underlying condition or injury that needs to be addressed.
