A nurse is working with a woman who has been diagnosed with severe fibrocystic breast disease. After describing the medications that can be used as treatment, the nurse determines that additional teaching is needed when the client identifies which drug is being used.

Choice A reason: Baby oil is not an acceptable lubricant, as it can damage the condom and reduce its effectiveness. The students should use water-based or silicone-based lubricants instead.

Choice B reason: Ensuring a tight fit of the condom is not advisable, as it can cause discomfort and increase the risk of breakage. The students should leave some space at the tip of the condom to collect semen and prevent spillage.

Choice C reason: Only using latex condoms is correct, as they are more effective than other materials in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections. The students should avoid using condoms made of natural skin or lambskin, as they are porous and can allow viruses to pass through.

Choice D reason: Placing the condom on an erect penis is correct, as it ensures proper application and prevents slippage. The students should unroll the condom over the entire length of the penis before any sexual contact.

Choice E reason: Storing the condoms in a cool dry place is correct, as it prevents exposure to heat, moisture, sunlight, or sharp objects that can damage the condom. The students should check the expiration date and integrity of the condom before use.

Choice A: Limit the intake of fluid. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Limiting the intake of fluid can cause dehydration, urinary tract infection, or kidney stones. The client should drink enough fluid to keep her urine clear and odorless.

Choice B: Void every hour while awake. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Voiding every hour while awake can cause bladder irritation, infection, or overdistension. The client should void when she feels the urge or at least every 3 to 4 hours.

Choice C: Perform Kegel exercises daily. This action is correct and should be taught to the client. Kegel exercises are exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra. They can help improve bladder control and prevent urinary incontinence. The client should perform Kegel exercises daily by contracting and relaxing the muscles around the vagina and anus as if she is trying to stop urinating or passing gas.

Choice D: Take a laxative every night. This action is not correct and should not be taught to the client. Taking a laxative every night can cause diarrhea, dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, or dependence. The client should avoid constipation by eating a high-fiber diet, drinking plenty of fluids, and exercising regularly.
