Certified Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner-Pediatric (SANE-P) Practice Exam

Trichomoniasis discharge is best described as

Frothy, malodorous, yellow-green Clear and odorless Thick and white Bloody

Correct Answer:

Frothy, malodorous, yellow-green

Explanation:

Trichomoniasis discharge is best described as frothy, malodorous, and yellow-green. The infection causes an inflamed, bubbly Exudate that mixes with secretions, giving a foamy texture and a foul odor, often with a yellow-green color. This contrasts with candidiasis, which typically has thick, white, cottage-cheese–like discharge, and with bacterial patterns that are usually thinner and may have a fishy odor rather than being frothy. Bloody discharge is not characteristic of trichomoniasis and would point toward other causes such as cervical irritation or trauma.
