Assessment of a female client reveals a thick, white vaginal discharge. The client also reports intense itching and dyspareunia. Based on these findings, the nurse would suspect that the client has:
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
candidiasis.
Rationale:
🌸 Candidiasis, or yeast infection, is characterized by thick, white, "cottage cheese"-like discharge, vulvar itching, and dyspareunia (painful intercourse).
🌸 The condition is caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans, often triggered by antibiotic use, diabetes, pregnancy, or immunosuppression.
🌸 The vaginal environment becomes more acidic, promoting fungal proliferation.
🌸 Treatment typically includes antifungal agents, such as fluconazole or miconazole suppositories.
🌸 Proper hygiene, avoiding douching, and wearing breathable underwear help prevent recurrence.
