A community health nurse is conducting an educational session at a local community center on sexually transmitted infections (STIs). The nurse considers the session successful when participants identify which statement as correct?
1) "At least antibiotics will cure a sexually transmitted infection."
2) "STIs can't be transmitted through oral sexual intercourse."
3) "Human papillomavirus is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer."
4) "Gonorrhea and syphilis are an infection seen only in men."
3) "Human papillomavirus is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer.

Respuesta :

1) or 3) in my opinion. HPV can cause cervical cancer and STIs can be treated with antibiotics.

3) "Human papillomavirus is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer."

Clinical studies have confirmed that HPV is the cause of essentially all cases of cervical cancer, which is the fourth most common cancer in women in the United States. Up to 95% of cervical squamous cell carcinomas and nearly all preinvasive cervical neoplasms are caused by the HPV. Antibiotics will only cure those STIs caused from a bacterial infections. A viral STI infection is a lifetime infection. Gonorrhea and syphilis affects both men and women. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are infections of the reproductive tract caused by microorganisms transmitted through oral sexual intercourse.
