A nurse is preparing a presentation about contraception for a young adult community group. Which is the most effective means of contraception?

If a couple has used at-home ovulation testing with basal body temperature and has not conceived, the first treatment option may depend on the underlying cause of infertility. However, the most common first-line treatment for infertility is selective estrogen receptor modulator clomiphene. This medication stimulates ovulation and can increase the chances of conception.

Surgery to reduce endometriosis may be considered if endometriosis is the underlying cause of infertility. However, surgery is not always successful and may not be the first option.

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with sperm from the husband is another option that may be considered if the male partner has mild to moderate sperm abnormalities or if there is unexplained infertility. IUI involves placing washed sperm directly into the uterus during ovulation.

Assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), may be considered if other treatments have been unsuccessful or if there are more severe fertility issues. ART involves combining eggs and sperm outside of the body and transferring the resulting embryo(s) into the uterus.

The choice of treatment will depend on the underlying cause of infertility, the age of the couple, and other factors that may impact fertility. It is important for the couple to consult with a healthcare provider who specializes in fertility treatments to determine the best course of action.

1. Avoid commercial feminine hygiene products. such as sprays.

The nurse should provide the following guidelines for a client who has experienced a vaginal

infection:

c. Avoid commercial feminine hygiene products, such as sprays, which can disrupt the natural pH balance of the vagina and increase the risk of infection.

d. Do not restrict daily washing but avoid using harsh soaps and perfumed products in the genital area, as these can also disrupt the natural pH balance.

1. Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear instead of tight-fitting synthetic underwear, as cotton allows for better air circulation and helps to keep the genital area dry.

1. Do not douche, as this can also disrupt the natural pH balance of the vagina and increase the

risk of infection.

In addition to these guidelines, the nurse should also encourage the client to maintain good overall hygiene, including showering or bathing regularly and wiping from front to back after using the toilet. The nurse should also advise the client to seek medical attention if any symptoms of a vaginal infection reoccur or worsen.
