Choice B rationale:

This choice is correct as well. Taking antibiotics as prescribed and completing the full course of treatment is essential to ensure complete eradication of the infection and prevent antibiotic resistance.

Choice C rationale:

This choice is also correct. Resistance testing may be necessary in cases of antibiotic-resistant strains of chlamydia to determine the most effective treatment.

Choice D rationale:

This choice is incorrect. The patient should continue using condoms even after symptom resolution to prevent reinfection and the transmission of STIs.
