    A nurse is caring for a client who has a new diagnosis of Chlamydia trachomatis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Schedule the client for retesting in 1 week: Retesting is typically done after 3 months, not 1 week. B. Administer ceftriaxone via intermittent IV bolus: Ceftriaxone is used for gonorrhea, not chlamydia. C. Instruct the client to abstain from sexual intercourse for 1 month: Abstinence is recommended until treatment is completed and partners are treated, not necessarily for 1 month. D. Report the infection to the state department of health: Reporting is required by law to help track and reduce the spread of STIs.
