Question

what must be done to a newborn that is delivered naturally to make sure the baby is not infected with gonorrhea? what could happen to a person that is not treated for gonorrhea or chlamydia? what is the bacterial sti in the united states?

Explanation:

For a naturally - delivered newborn to prevent gonorrhea infection, eye prophylaxis with an antibiotic ointment (such as erythromycin) is typically administered. Untreated gonorrhea or chlamydia can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in women, which can cause infertility, chronic pelvic pain, and ectopic pregnancy. In men, it can cause epididymitis and potentially affect fertility. It can also increase the risk of HIV transmission in both sexes.

Answer:

1. Administer antibiotic eye ointment (e.g., erythromycin) to the newborn's eyes.
2. In women: Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), infertility, chronic pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy. In men: Epididymitis, potential fertility issues. Increased risk of HIV transmission in both sexes.
