Final answer:
d) "Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection."
The correct statement about genital warts and HPV is d) 'Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection.' The other statements contain inaccuracies, including the cause of genital warts, the effectiveness of the HPV vaccine, and the protective capability of condoms against HPV.
Step-by-step explanation:
Client statement d) 'Genital warts are a sexually transmitted infection' reflects a correct understanding of genital warts and the human papillomavirus (HPV). Genital warts are indeed caused by certain strains of HPV, which is a sexually transmitted virus. However, the other statements have inaccuracies. Statement a) is incorrect because genital warts are not caused by bacteria but by a virus. Statement b) implies HPV vaccines are solely effective pre-sexual activity; while it's most beneficial to get vaccinated before becoming sexually active, it can still provide benefits to those already sexually active. Statement c) is inaccurate because while condoms can reduce the risk of HPV infection, they do not provide complete protection as HPV can also be spread through skin-to-skin contact in areas not covered by condoms.
