Vulvovaginitis ( 24 Questions)
A nurse is planning care for a client with vulvovaginitis. Which treatment is appropriate for Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection?
Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection is treated with medications that have activity against protozoa, such as metronidazole, clindamycin, tinidazole, or secnidazole. These drugs are effective in eradicating the infection.
Oral fluconazole and topical azoles are used to treat fungal infections, such as candidiasis, not Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection.
Hormonal therapy with estrogen creams, tablets, or rings is used for menopausal or postmenopausal symptoms, not for the treatment of Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection.
Removal of foreign bodies or irritants is a general management strategy and is not specific to treating Trichomonas vaginalis (TV) infection.
