Final answer:

An effective health teaching for a client with condyloma acuminate would be indicated by a client stating the importance of avoiding sexual contact with warts, using latex condoms, getting regular check-ups, and understanding HPV vaccination benefits.

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaluation of Health Teaching Efficacy

The client's understanding of the health teaching on condyloma acuminate—an STI that causes genital warts (oftentimes caused by the Human Papilloma Virus or HPV)—can be gauged by her acknowledgment of the risks and her ability to prevent further spread. For example, a statement by the client indicating effective teaching might be: "I understand that I should avoid sexual contact while the warts are present, use latex condoms when I resume sexual activity, and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor my condition." This would show the client has grasped the importance of both the prevention of transmission and the need for ongoing medical oversight.

Effective teaching would also be indicated by the client expressing knowledge that HPV vaccination can protect against the strains of HPV most commonly associated with genital warts and cervical cancer, realizing the benefit despite already being affected.

Finally, acknowledgment that strains of HPV exist and that condom use, while helpful, may not be completely effective against all forms of STI transmission would also indicate successful health education.
