Questions and Answers

1.

The highest incidents of gonorrhea happen in which age group?
- A.
  
  9-15
- B.
  
  15-35
- C.
  
  30-45
- D.
  
  15-24
Correct Answer
D. 15-24

Explanation
The age group with the highest incidents of gonorrhea is 15-24. This age range is often associated with increased sexual activity and experimentation, which can contribute to the spread of sexually transmitted infections like gonorrhea. Additionally, this age group may have less knowledge about safe sex practices and may be less likely to seek regular healthcare, increasing their risk of contracting and transmitting the infection.

2.

Untreated gonorrhea leads to the diseases ______ in women and ______ in men
- A.
  
  PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) / Epididymitis
- B.
  
  Herpes / AIDS
- C.
  
  Vaginal Cancer / Testicular Cancer
- D.
  
  Chlamydia / PID
Correct Answer
A. PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) / Epididymitis

Explanation
Untreated gonorrhea can lead to Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) in women and Epididymitis in men. PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs that can cause infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and other complications. Epididymitis is an inflammation of the epididymis, a tube located at the back of the testicles, which can cause pain and swelling in the scrotum. Both PID and Epididymitis are serious conditions that can result from untreated gonorrhea.

3.

Which of the following statements about gonorrhea is FALSE?
- A.
  
  It is a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
- B.
  
  It is caused by a virus.
- C.
  
  It can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat.
- D.
  
  It can cause serious health problems if left untreated.
Correct Answer
B. It is caused by a virus.

Explanation
Gonorrhea is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria gonorrhoeae, not a virus. It is a common STI that can infect the genitals, rectum, and throat. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, such as pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women and infertility in both men and women. Sources and related content

People with gonorrhea usually also have this disease
- A.
  
  Swine Flu
- B.
  
  Herpes
- C.
  
  Chlamydia
- D.
  
  AIDS
Correct Answer
C. Chlamydia

Explanation
Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that often occurs alongside gonorrhea. Both diseases are commonly transmitted through sexual contact and can have similar symptoms, such as pain during urination and discharge. Therefore, it is common for individuals with gonorrhea to also have chlamydia.

What is gonorrhea treated with?
- A.
  
  Surgery
- B.
  
  Antibiotics
- C.
  
  Hands on cleaning by a doctor
- D.
  
  Alcoholic beverages
Correct Answer
B. Antibiotics

Explanation
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacteria Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Antibiotics are the primary treatment for gonorrhea. They work by killing or inhibiting the growth of the bacteria, helping to clear the infection and prevent complications. Surgery is not typically used to treat gonorrhea, as it is a bacterial infection that can be effectively treated with antibiotics. Hands-on cleaning by a doctor may be necessary for certain procedures or examinations, but it is not the main treatment for gonorrhea. Alcoholic beverages do not have any direct effect on treating gonorrhea.

What other infection is commonly found with gonorrhea?
- A.
  
  Bacterial vaginosis
- B.
  
  Syphilis
- C.
  
  Trichomonas
- D.
  
  Chlamydia
Correct Answer
D. Chlamydia

Explanation
Chlamydia is commonly found with gonorrhea. Both gonorrhea and chlamydia are sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and often occur together. They have similar symptoms and can be transmitted through sexual contact. Therefore, it is important for individuals diagnosed with gonorrhea to also get tested for chlamydia and vice versa to ensure proper treatment and prevent further spread of the infections.

What is the treatment of choice for Chlamydia in patients for whom adherence is in question?
- A.
  
  Metronidazole 500mg PO BID x 7 days
- B.
  
  Azithromycin 1g PO x 1
- C.
  
  Doxycycline 100 mg PO BID x 7 days
- D.
  
  Ceftriaxone 250 mg IM x 1
Correct Answer
B. Azithromycin 1g PO x 1

Explanation
Azithromycin 1g PO x 1 is the treatment of choice for Chlamydia in patients for whom adherence is in question because it is a single dose regimen. This means that the patient only needs to take one dose of the medication, which may improve adherence compared to a regimen that requires multiple doses over several days. Additionally, Azithromycin has been shown to be highly effective in treating Chlamydia infections, making it a suitable option for patients with adherence concerns.

Skin rash, mucocutaneous lesions, and lymphadenopathy are signs of
- A.
  
  Primary syphilis infection
- B.
  
  Secondary syphilis infection
- C.
  
  Tertiary syphilis infection
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Secondary sypHilis infection

Explanation
Skin rash, mucocutaneous lesions, and lymphadenopathy are classic signs of secondary syphilis infection. Secondary syphilis occurs a few weeks to a few months after the initial infection and is characterized by a widespread rash that can affect the palms and soles, as well as mucous membranes. Mucocutaneous lesions can also be present, such as condyloma lata. Lymphadenopathy, or enlarged lymph nodes, is another common feature of secondary syphilis. Primary syphilis is characterized by a painless ulcer at the site of infection, while tertiary syphilis is a later stage characterized by the development of gummas and potential damage to various organs.

A 17-year-old female has a purulent cervical discharge. She should
- A.
  
  Test and give azithromycin
- B.
  
  Not test but give ceftriazone
- C.
  
  Test and give ceftriazone and azithromycin
- D.
  
  Test and give ceftriazone and azithromycin
Correct Answer
C. Test and give ceftriazone and azithromycin

Explanation
Based on the given information of a 17-year-old female with a purulent cervical discharge, the most appropriate course of action would be to test for the underlying cause of the discharge and administer both ceftriazone and azithromycin. This is because purulent discharge suggests a possible infection, and ceftriazone and azithromycin are commonly used antibiotics to treat sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. Testing is necessary to identify the specific infection causing the discharge, and the combination of both antibiotics helps cover a broad range of possible pathogens.

The preferred method for screening men for urethral GC/Chlamydia if they have not voided in the past 1 hour is
- A.
  
  Jembec plate inoculation using alginate or dacron swabs
- B.
  
  Viral/Chlamydia/Mycoplasma Transport Media
- C.
  
  Urethral DNA swab
- D.
  
  Urine DNA test
Correct Answer
D. Urine DNA test

Explanation
The preferred method for screening men for urethral GC/Chlamydia if they have not voided in the past 1 hour is the Urine DNA test. This is because if the patient has not voided recently, it may be difficult to collect a urethral swab sample. The Urine DNA test allows for the detection of the DNA of the bacteria causing the infection in the urine sample, providing an alternative and convenient method for screening.
