Which statement by a client treated for bacterial vaginosis shows understanding?

  1. “I will avoid douching because it can contribute to a relapse.”
  2. “Douching will relieve my symptoms.”
  3. “My male partner must be treated to prevent a recurrence.”
  4. “I can have unprotected sex while I take the medication.”
Show answer

Correct answer: “I will avoid douching because it can contribute to a relapse.”

Douching does not relieve symptoms and may cause relapse. Treating male partners does not reduce recurrence, and condoms or abstinence are advised.
