Final answer:

The nurse practitioner should not tell the patient that treatment combined with alcohol can cause GI complaints.

Step-by-step explanation:

The nurse practitioner should tell a patient diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis all of the following except:

a. Abstain from sexual intercourse until treatment is complete

b. It is necessary to treat your sexual partner

c. Treatment may weaken condoms

d. **Treatment combined with alcohol can cause GI complaints**

The nurse practitioner should not tell the patient that treatment combined with alcohol can cause GI complaints. While it is important to abstain from sexual intercourse until treatment is complete, it is not necessary to treat the sexual partner. Treatment may weaken condoms due to the use of certain medications, but it is still advisable to use them for protection against sexually transmitted infections.
