The nurse is addressing condom use in the context of a health promotion workshop. When discussing the correct use of condoms, what should the nurse tell the attendees?

A. Attach the condom prior to erection: Condoms should be applied after achieving full erection to ensure proper fit and reduce the risk of breakage. Attaching the condom prematurely can lead to slippage or improper placement. B. A condom may be reused with the same partner if ejaculation has not occurred: Condoms are single-use devices and should never be reused. Reusing increases the risk of breakage, contamination, and transmission of sexually transmitted infections. C. Use skin lotion as a lubricant if alternatives are unavailable: Oil-based products, including skin lotion, degrade latex condoms and increase the likelihood of tearing. Only water-based or silicone-based lubricants are safe for use with latex condoms. D. Hold the condom by the cuff upon withdrawal: Holding the base or cuff of the condom during withdrawal prevents slippage or spillage of semen, ensuring effectiveness in preventing pregnancy and reducing STI transmission.
