Case StudiesThese case studies are designed to be completed after you have studied the content in each section, but you can complete them any time you feel ready. Case studies allow you to apply what you have learned in this course to real-world situations. Case Study #1:Omar, a 24-year-old married man, is treated for chlamydia at your clinic. When he is asked to bring his wife for an exam, he sends her to the clinic but does not tell her the reason for the visit. When you question her about possible symptoms and examine her, she does not mention any problems and you see no signs or symptoms of an STI, yet she indicates that she is sexually active with her spouse.What are some reasons why Omar’s wife does not have any signs or symptoms of an STI? Case Study #2:Valerie, an 18-year-old student, comes to your clinic because she has recently become sexually active for the first time and wants a family planning method. She chooses oral contraceptives but returns a few weeks later complaining that her partner says she is “too wet.” She thinks that the pills are causing the wetness and asks about switching methods.What could be causing the “wetness,” and what issues would you have to explore with Valerie to provide her with good counseling?
