Practice Question
A nurse in a provider's office is reviewing the medical record of a client who is requesting a diaphragm. Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this type of contraception?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Rationale:
🟣 Diaphragm use is linked to increased risk of UTIs due to pressure on urethra and altered vaginal flora.
🟣 Those with recurrent UTIs should use alternative contraception to avoid further infections.
🟣 Other options (tobacco use, history of GBS, DVT) do not directly contraindicate diaphragm use.
🟣 Proper screening prevents complications and discomfort.
🟣 Nurse teaching helps patients choose safest, most effective method.
