Question

A nurse is giving a community presentation about preventing the transmission of HIV. In discussing condom use, the nurse should include which of the following guideline?

a. remove the condom while the pe*is is still erect
b. store condoms in a warm environment
c. use natrual membrane condoms for vaginal intercourse.
d. Apply petroleum jelly to lubricate the condoms.

Answer 1

In discussing condom use to prevent HIV transmission, the nurse should emphasize the importance of using water-based lubricants instead of petroleum jelly (Option D).

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct guideline for condom use to prevent the transmission of HIV is to apply water-based lubricants instead of petroleum jelly. Petroleum-based products can damage latex condoms, making them more prone to breakage. Option A is incorrect because condoms should be removed after the pe*is is flaccid. Storing condoms in a warm environment (Option B) can compromise their integrity. Additionally, natural membrane condoms (Option C) are not recommended for preventing HIV transmission, as they may not provide sufficient protection.

Option:

Option D is the answer.
