D. Sexual intercourse may be resumed after one dose of the

medication from the vagina.

client if they had unprotected sex and if the client has exposed others
to the disease.

a measurable outcome, and the client decreasing the number of
cigarettes smoked by 50% within 2 weeks is both client-centered and
measurable. Cigarette smoking has a negative effect on bone
resorption, so the client should be advised to stop smoking.
