Practice Question
The public health nurse is teaching young adolescents in a sexual health class the proper use of a condom. Which statements made by the students indicate teaching was successful? Select all that apply.
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Only use latex condoms.
Rationale:
Only use latex condoms
🟦 Latex condoms offer the best protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
🟦 Other types like natural membrane (lambskin) may not prevent STI transmission.
🟦 Latex is also widely available and cost-effective, making it a public health standard.
Place the condom on an erect penis
🟦 Applying the condom before intercourse begins helps reduce the risk of exposure to pre-ejaculate, which can carry sperm and pathogens.
🟦 A proper fit on an erect penis ensures full coverage and minimizes slippage.
🟦 The tip should be pinched to leave space for semen collection.
Store the condoms in a cool dry place
🟦 Condoms are made of materials that can degrade with heat or humidity, making them less reliable.
🟦 Wallets, glove boxes, and bathrooms are common but unsafe storage places.
🟦 Keeping them in a cool, dry place preserves integrity.
