The school nurse is approached by an adolescent girl who says she was recently diagnosed with candidiasis and wants the nurse's help to discuss this with her mother. When the discussion begins, the teen's mother accuses the daughter of contracting the infection from her boyfriend. The girl denies being sexually active. The nurse helps to resolve this conflict by stating:
1. "Candidiasis is easily cured by a single dose of oral medication."
2. "Candidiasis can be caused by many things other than sexual contact."
3. "Education about condom use will reduce risk of re-infection."
4. "Teens rarely admit to being sexually active, even when they are."
