A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a female client about contraception. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A- "My partner will use condoms with spermicides": Using condoms with spermicides can increase the effectiveness of contraception by combining a barrier method with a chemical method to kill sperm. B. Using two condoms simultaneously (also known as "double bagging") is not recommended because the friction between them can increase the chance of them tearing. C- "I will be able to remove my contraceptive sponge immediately after intercourse": The contraceptive sponge is a barrier method that is inserted into the vagina before intercourse. It should be left in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse to ensure effectiveness. Removing it immediately after intercourse would decrease its contraceptive effectiveness. D- "My partner and I will use petroleum jelly with latex condoms": Petroleum jelly, along with other oil-based lubricants, should not be used with latex condoms. Oil-based substances can degrade latex, making the condom more prone to breakage. Water-based lubricants are recommended for use with latex condoms to ensure their integrity and effectiveness.
