Question

The nurse provides instruction to a client on how to use a diaphragm. Which client statement indicates to the nurse that the teaching was effective?a. "I am glad a diaphragm protects me from AIDS."b. "I can remove the diaphragm 6 hours after intercourse."c. "I will only use spermicide cream with the diaphragm before insertion."d. "I need to be examined every 6 months to make sure the diaphragm fits."

Answer 1

b. "I can remove the diaphragm 6 hours after intercourse."

Step-by-step explanation:

The first statement is incorrect because a diaphragm is only used to avoid contraception and has nothing to do with transfer of AIDS infection. the second statement is correct because a diaphragm shall be removed after six hours of performing intercourse. However, a spermicide cream is only used when a patients inserts a diaphragm but performs intercourse four hours later. A diaphragm is examined only when the client's weight changes up to 15 pounds, if client had a child, and usually it is checked for fitness annually.
