A female client has just been diagnosed with condylomata acuminata (genital warts). What information is appropriate to tell this client
A. This condition puts her at a higher risk for cervical cancer; therefore, she should have a Papanicolaou (Pap) test annually.
B. The most common treatment is metronidazole (Flagyl), which should eradicate the problem within 7 to 10 days.
C. The potential for transmission to her sexual partner will be eliminated if condoms are used every time they have sexual intercourse.
D. The human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes condylomata aeuminata, can’t be transmitted during oral sex.
参考答案:A
解析:Women with condylomata acuminata are at risk for cancer of the cervix and vulva. Yearly Pap tests are important for early detection. Because condylomata acuminata is a virus, there’s no permanent cure. Because condylomata acuminata can occur on the vulva, a condom won’t protect sexual partners. HPV can be transmitted to other parts of the body, such as the mouth, oropharynx, and larynx.
