Vulvovaginitis

Vulvovaginitis ( 24 Questions)

A nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with vulvovaginal candidiasis (CV) What nursing interventions should the nurse implement for this client? (Select all that apply)


Correct Answer: ["B","C","D"]

Choice A rationale:

Administering oral or intravaginal antibiotics is not appropriate for vulvovaginal candidiasis (CV) since it is caused by a fungal infection, not bacterial. Antifungal medications are the primary treatment.

Choice B rationale:

Educating the client on the causes, symptoms, and prevention of CV is essential to ensure the client understands the infection, its symptoms, and how to prevent recurrence.

Choice C rationale:

Providing comfort measures to relieve irritation and discomfort, such as soothing creams and warm sitz baths, helps alleviate the discomfort associated with CV.

Choice D rationale:

Encouraging the client to avoid sexual intercourse during treatment is advised to prevent further irritation and disruption of the vaginal flora.

Choice E rationale:

Advising the client to limit sexual partners is not a specific intervention for CV.
