Question

A community health nurse is conducting an educational session at a local community center on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse considers the session successful when participants identify which statement as correct?

1) "At least antibiotics will cure a sexually transmitted infection."
2) "STIs can't be transmitted through oral sexual intercourse."
3) "Human papillomavirus is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer."
4) "Gonorrhea and syphilis are an infection seen only in men."

Answer 1

2) "STIs can't be transmitted through oral sexual intercourse."

Step-by-step explanation:

Seually transmissible infections, as the name suggests, are infections transmitted by any type of sexual contact, including orally. So, when the nurse gives a lecture about these infections to a lecture participant says "STIs can't be transmitted through oral sexual intercourse", it means that a good understanding of the subject has been established.

STIs are infections caused by fungi, bacteria and viruses. Although some have no cure, all have treatment that can allow the infected individual to lead a normal life.

Answer 2

1) "At least antibiotics will cure a sexually transmitted infection

3) "Human papillomavirus is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer."

Step-by-step explanation:

Antibiotics are drugs that fight microbes. They are effective in the treatment of mostly bacterial infections associated with STIs.

STIs can be transmitted orally( through the mouth). It is transmitted mostly if a person has sores in the mouth.

Human papilloma virus are found in the genitals, mouth etc and is the leading cause of cervical cancer.

Gonorrhoea and syphilis occur in both male and female.
