Practice Question
A nurse is teaching a client how to use a diaphragm. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
“The diaphragm should be left in place for 4 hours after intercourse."
Rationale:
🔴 A client should empty their bladder before diaphragm insertion to reduce the risk of urinary tract infection (UTI).
🔴 The diaphragm must remain in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse, not just 4.
🔴 Using oil-based lubricants can weaken the rubber, so only water-based lubricants are recommended.
🔴 Applying baby powder is not advised, as it can cause irritation or damage to the material.
🔴 The diaphragm is a barrier contraceptive and must be fitted properly to ensure effectiveness.
