A nurse is conducting a class for a group of clients about birth control.
Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
You should use spermicide 3 hours prior to sexual intercourse.
Your fertility will return 6 months after your provider removes your IUD.
You will not need to use birth control for 1 month after receiving emergency contraception.
You should have an annual examination to assess your diaphragm.
The Correct Answer is D
A nurse conducting a class for a group of clients about birth control should include information about having an annual examination to assess their diaphragm.
A diaphragm should be replaced at least every 2 years and it’s important to
bring it to an annual checkup so the healthcare provider can check the fit.
Choice A is incorrect because spermicide should be used immediately before sexual intercourse, not 3 hours prior.
Choice B is incorrect because fertility can return immediately after IUD removal.
Choice C is incorrect because emergency contraception is intended for backup contraception only and not as a primary method of birth control
