A patient is being treated at a health care clinic for gonorrhea. Which teaching point should
the nurse include in patient teaching?
"While being treated for the infection, you will not be able to pass this infection on to your sexual
partner."
"While you're taking the antibiotics, you will need to abstain from participating in sexual activity and
drinking alcohol."
"It's important to complete your full course of antibiotics to ensure that you become resistant to
reinfection."
"The symptoms of gonorrhea will resolve on their own, but it is important for you to abstain from
sexual activity while this is occurring."
