Passage / Scenario
A nurse in a family health clinic is caring for a client who requests information regarding the correct use of condoms.Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A. This statement is correct because implanted contraceptive methods, like hormonal implants, do not protect against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), so using condoms is necessary for dual protection. Choice B is incorrect as petroleum-based lubricants can weaken condoms. Choice C is incorrect because a condom should fit comfortably, not snugly, to prevent breakage. Choice D is incorrect because condoms are more effective for birth control when used with spermicide.
