After teaching a group of adolescent girls about female reproductive development, the nurse determines that teaching was successful when the girls state that menarche is defined as a woman's first:

Choice A: "Store your condoms in your wallet so they are ready for use." This statement is not correct and should not be included in the teaching plan. Storing condoms in a wallet can damage them by exposing them to heat, friction, or puncture. Damaged condoms can break or leak during sexual activity and increase the risk of STIs or pregnancy.

Choice B: "Use petroleum jelly with a latex condom for extra lubrication." This statement is not correct and should not be included in the teaching plan. Using petroleum jelly or any oil-based lubricant with a latex condom can weaken the latex material and cause it to break or slip off. Only water-based or silicone-based lubricants should be used with latex condoms.

Choice C: "Put the condom on before engaging in any genital contact." This statement is correct and should be included in the teaching plan. Putting the condom on before engaging in any genital contact can prevent the transmission of STIs or pregnancy by avoiding contact with pre-ejaculate fluid, semen, or vaginal fluid.

Choice D: "You can reuse a condom if it's within 3 hours." This statement is not correct and should not be included in the teaching plan. Reusing a condom can increase the risk of STIs or pregnancy by exposing the partner to residual fluid, bacteria, or sperm. A new condom should be used for each sexual act.

Choice A: Call the surgeon to perform a femoral puncture. This action is not appropriate because it is unnecessary and invasive. A femoral puncture is a procedure that involves inserting a needle into the femoral vein in the groin area to obtain a blood sample. It is usually reserved for situations where other veins are inaccessible or unsuitable, such as in trauma or shock. It is not indicated for a routine CBC test.

Choice B: Assist in holding the client's arm still. This action is not appropriate because it is harmful and contraindicated. Holding the client's arm still may cause injury or infection to the arm that has undergone surgery and lymph node removal. It may also increase the risk of lymphedema, which is a condition that causes swelling and pain in the arm due to fluid accumulation and impaired lymphatic drainage.

Choice C: Tell the technician to obtain the blood sample from the client's left arm. This action is appropriate because it is safe and recommended. Obtaining the blood sample from the client's left arm can avoid complications such as injury, infection, or lymphedema in the right arm that has undergone surgery and lymph node removal. The technician can use a different site than the antecubital space, such as the hand or wrist, to avoid interfering with the intravenous line.

Choice D: Suggest a finger stick be done on one of the client's left fingers. This action is not appropriate because it is unreliable and inaccurate. A finger stick is a procedure that involves pricking the finger with a lancet to obtain a small amount of blood for testing. It is usually used for point-of-care testing, such as glucose or hemoglobin levels, but not for a CBC test. A CBC test requires a larger volume of blood and a venous sample for accurate results.
