Question

Mrs. Smith is in the clinic reporting signs and symptoms of herpes. Herpes simplex is diagnosed. She is concerned that her husband has been unfaithful after 5 years of marriage. What is the most appropriate nursing response?

"I would recommend that you both seek marriage counseling." "Herpes can remain dormant or silent for many years after infection before symptoms occur."
