A nurse is caring for a client who inquires about a cervical cap for contraception. The nurse should identify that which of the following manifestations is a contraindication for the use of a cervical cap?

A. Increasing the frequency of feedings from the affected nipple can worsen soreness. It’s important to address the underlying cause of soreness, which may involve evaluating latch technique or positioning rather than increasing feeding frequency.
B. Vitamin E oil is not recommended for sore nipples as it can cause irritation. Proper care involves managing latch and positioning, and sometimes using a lanolin cream rather than oils or other substances.
C. Washing the nipple with soap and water before each feeding can remove natural oils and lead to further irritation. The nipple should be gently cleaned with water, if necessary, and kept clean without over-washing.
D. Exposing the affected nipple to the air between feedings helps with healing and reduces moisture, which can exacerbate soreness. Allowing the nipple to air-dry can promote healing and reduce discomfort.

A. Leukorrhea, a normal increase in vaginal discharge, is a common and expected finding during pregnancy. It usually does not require immediate medical intervention unless accompanied by other symptoms.
B. Gingivitis is a common issue during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, but it is generally managed with good oral hygiene and routine dental care. It is not an urgent finding compared to other conditions.
C. Varicose veins are a common condition during pregnancy due to increased blood volume and pressure on the veins. While they can be uncomfortable, they are generally managed through lifestyle changes and do not represent an immediate risk.
D. Dysuria, or painful urination, may indicate a urinary tract infection or another serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. It can lead to complications if untreated, so it is a priority finding that needs to be reported to the provider for further evaluation and treatment.
