A school nurse is preparing a lesson for a high school health class about the prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIS). Which of the following interventions should the nurse include that aims to block transmission of STIS at the portal of exit?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Condom use
Rationale:
💡 The portal of exit refers to the site through which a pathogen exits the body and can potentially be transmitted to others. In the case of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the portal of exit is typically through bodily fluids during sexual activity, such as semen, vaginal fluids, or blood.
💡 Condom use is an intervention that blocks the transmission of STIs by physically preventing bodily fluids from being exchanged during sexual activity, thus preventing the pathogen from exiting one person's body and entering another’s.
💡 This intervention is effective in reducing the risk of transmission of STIs such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis.
