Question

Indicate if the statement is true or false and then correct each false statement so that it is true:
a. Sexually transmitted infections always affect the reproductive tract
b. CAUTIs are usually classified as uncomplicated UTIs
c. Candida species are the leading cause of uncomplicated UTIs
d. Syphilis can be vertically transmitted from a mother to her fetus
e. Herpes simplex virus 2 can be transmitted to a partner without intercourse

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Analyze statement (a): 'Sexually transmitted infections always affect the reproductive tract.' Consider that some STIs can affect other areas such as the oral cavity or rectum, not just the reproductive tract. Determine if the word 'always' is accurate here. Step 2: Evaluate statement (b): 'CAUTIs are usually classified as uncomplicated UTIs.' Recall that CAUTIs (Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections) often involve additional complications due to catheter use, so assess whether they fit the definition of uncomplicated UTIs. Step 3: Review statement (c): 'Candida species are the leading cause of uncomplicated UTIs.' Think about the common causative agents of uncomplicated UTIs, typically bacterial species like Escherichia coli, and whether Candida (a fungus) is the leading cause. Step 4: Consider statement (d): 'Syphilis can be vertically transmitted from a mother to her fetus.' Reflect on the modes of transmission of Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, and whether vertical transmission is possible. Step 5: Assess statement (e): 'Herpes simplex virus 2 can be transmitted to a partner without intercourse.' Understand the transmission routes of HSV-2, including skin-to-skin contact, and determine if transmission can occur without sexual intercourse.
