The primary care NP sees a female patient and makes a diagnosis of Trichomonas vaginalis. The patient does not want to tell her partner she has it because she thinks she may have contracted it from someone else. The NP will tell her:
 
  a. as long as she takes the antibiotic for 7 days, the infection will be cured.
  b. she and all of her partners must be treated, or the infection will not be cured.
  c. she can be treated, but if the infection recurs, she will have to tell both partners.
  d. she and the person who infected her will need one-time doses of metronidazole.
