The contraceptive sponge is a barrier method of contraception that is inserted into the vagina before sexual intercourse. It contains spermicide and blocks the sperm from reaching the egg. The sponge must be left in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse before it is removed. Don't leave it in for more than a total of 30 hours.

a. "You can use this at any time, even when you are menstruating" is incorrect information because the contraceptive sponge should not be used during menstruation.

c. "You need to have the sponge fited before using it" is incorrect information because the contraceptive sponge is a one-size-fits-all device and does not require fitting.

d. "Clean the with mild soap and water after using it" is also incorrect information because the contraceptive sponge is a disposable device and should be discarded after use. It should not be reused or washed.

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue like the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterus, causing pain and discomfort. Acute pain is a common symptom of endometriosis and can be severe enough to interfere with daily activities and quality of life. Therefore, pain management should be a priority in the care of clients with endometriosis.

While anxiety related to risk of transmission (option a) and excess fluid volume related to abdominal distention (option d) may also be concerns for some clients with endometriosis, they are generally not the most urgent priorities. Ineffective tissue perfusion related to hemorrhage (option c) may be a concern in rare cases of severe endometriosis, but it is not a common or typical complication.
