Passage / Scenario
A nurse in a provider's office is reviewing the medical record of a client who is requesting a diaphragm.Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this type of contraception?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Recurrent urinary tract infections are a contraindication for using a diaphragm because the presence of a foreign object in the vagina can increase the risk of UTIs. Tobacco use and deep-vein thrombosis are more relevant to hormonal contraceptives, not barrier methods like diaphragms.
