Vulvovaginitis

Vulvovaginitis ( 24 Questions)

A nurse is providing education to a group of postmenopausal women about preventing vulvovaginitis. Which of the following strategies should the nurse include in the teaching?


Correct Answer: C

Choice A rationale:

Avoiding sexual intercourse is not necessary for preventing vulvovaginitis. Maintaining good hygiene and other preventive measures are more relevant.

Choice B rationale:

Using scented soaps for cleansing can actually increase the risk of vulvovaginal irritation and infections. Unscented, gentle cleansers are recommended.

Choice C rationale:

Limiting sexual partners helps reduce the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) that can lead to vulvovaginitis.

Choice D rationale:

Douching regularly is not advised, as it disrupts the natural balance of vaginal flora and increases the risk of infections and irritation.
