2. Which STD should the nurse suspect when an adolescent girl comes to the clinic because
she has a vaginal discharge that is white with a fishy smell?
a. Human papillomavirus
b. Bacterial vaginosis
c. Trichomonas
d. Chlamydia
ANS: B
Feedback
A Manifestations of the human papillomavirus are anogenital warts that begin as
small papules and grow into clustered lesions.
B Bacterial vaginosis is characterized by a profuse, white, malodorous (fishy
smelling) vaginal discharge that sticks to the vaginal walls.

may include dysuria, vaginal itching, burning, and a frothy, yellowish-green,

immunosuppressed child.
C An antibiotic is not effective in treating varicella zoster, which is a virus.

B The first lines of defense in the innate immune system are the skin and intact
mucous membranes.
C Immunizations provide artificial immunity or resistance to harmful diseases.
D Practicing good hygiene may reduce susceptibility to disease, but it is not a
component of the innate immune system.
