Passage / Scenario
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is 2 days postpartum and wants to continue using her diaphragm for contraception.Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Rationale: Choice A is correct because if the diaphragm does not fit properly, it may not effectively prevent pregnancy. The nurse should advise the individual to have their provider refit them for a new diaphragm to ensure proper sizing and fit. This is crucial for the diaphragm to be effective in preventing pregnancy.
Summary: Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Keeping the diaphragm in place for a specific time after intercourse, using oil-based lubricants, and storing the diaphragm in sterile water are not recommended instructions for diaphragm use and may lead to inefficacy or health risks.
