Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. The condom should fit snugly but not just over the tip of the penis; it should cover the entire shaft.
B. Condoms provide protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and should be used in addition to implanted contraceptive methods (such as IUDs or implants) to prevent the spread of STDs. Implanted contraceptives do not offer STD protection.
C. Spermicides can increase condom effectiveness, but condoms are not equally effective with or without them. Their effectiveness varies.
D. Petroleum-based lubricants can degrade latex condoms and increase the risk of breakage, so water-based or silicone-based lubricants are recommended.

A. Assign the AP to ask the client if she has taken her antidiabetic medication today. B. Determine if the AP has the skills to perform the test. C. Help the AP perform the blood glucose test. D. Have the AP check the medical record for prior blood glucose test results.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Assign the AP to ask the client if she has taken her antidiabetic medication today: Incorrect. Assessing medication use is a nursing responsibility and cannot be delegated to an AP.

C. Help the AP perform the blood glucose test: Incorrect. The task should be performed independently by the AP if delegated.

D. Have the AP check the medical record for prior blood glucose test results: Incorrect. Reviewing the medical record is a nursing responsibility and not typically delegated to an AP.
