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?
While using condoms with spermicides can provide additional contraceptive protection by immobilizing or killing sperm, it is not as effective as using condoms alone. Spermicides alone are not reliable enough to be used as a sole method of contraception.
Using condoms correctly and consistently during intercourse is an effective method of contraception. It provides a barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg and also reducesthe risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). When both the client and their partner use a condom, it increases the effectiveness of contraception and provides protection against STIs.
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.
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.
Explanation:
Using condoms correctly and consistently during intercourse is an effective method of contraception. It provides a barrier that prevents sperm from reaching the egg and also reduces the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). When both the client and their partner use a condom, it increases the effectiveness of contraception and provides protection against STIs.
Let's analyze the other statements:
A- "My partner will use condoms with spermicides": While using condoms with spermicides can provide additional contraceptive protection by immobilizing or killing sperm, it is not as effective as using condoms alone. Spermicides alone are not reliable enough to be used as a sole method of contraception.
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.
