A Utah congressman went to Japan as part of a delegation trying to sell the Great Basin National Park to the Japanese so that a Japanese mulching company can convert the 3000-year-old bristlecone pines in the Utah park into mulch for window boxes. About six weeks after some intense entertaining of the American delegation by the Japanese, the congressman develops a low-grade fever and a red-brown macular rash on the palms of his hand and the soles of his feet. He comes to your clinic for evaluation of the rash. He has only vague memory of a tea ceremony involving attractive young Japanese women. Which of the following actions is entirely without a rational basis in this medical situation and/or would not reflect good wisdom on your part: A. You put on gloves to exam the rash further, and wear the gloves to examine the patient's mouth. B. You order a serologic test for which the antigen is a non-organism-specific cardiolipin. If the previous test is positive, you may want to confirm it with an organism-specific test like the T. pallidum FTA-ABS test. C. You tell the patient not to have unprotected sex with anyone until the results of the serologic test in B are available. D. You tell the patient that this rash is most likely the initial manifestation of an infection that is likely to progress quickly, so immediate IV antibiotics are necessary
