A woman is prescribed metronidazole for trichomoniasis. Which statement shows that she understands the teaching?

Correct answer: A. I should avoid alcohol during treatment and shortly afterward

  • A. I should avoid alcohol during treatment and shortly afterward
  • B. I should stop the medicine when the discharge improves
  • C. I should use vaginal douching after each dose
  • D. I should avoid treatment for my sexual partner

Explanation

Alcohol should be avoided during metronidazole treatment and for the recommended period afterward because a severe disulfiram-like reaction may occur. Sexual partners also require assessment and treatment, and vaginal douching can worsen irritation.
