Question: During a well-woman physical examination, a young woman is diagnosed with a primary genital herpes lesion. When completing the client's history, the nurse would anticipate the client to report:
1. Anuria
2. Pruritus
3. Leukorrhea
4. Dyspareunia
Rationale: The client usually seeks treatment for a variety of symptoms, including dyspareunia (painful intercourse) due to the pain from the ulcerations caused by HSV-2. Anuria would be a complication of renal failure, as would pruritus. Leukorrhea is a thick, whitish, vaginal discharge that is common during pregnancy and at other times during a woman's reproductive years.
