A woman chooses tubal sterilisation after counselling. Which statement indicates informed consent?

Correct answer: A. I understand that the method is intended to be permanent

  • A. I understand that the method is intended to be permanent
  • B. I can have the tubes reopened whenever I choose
  • C. The procedure protects me from HIV infection
  • D. My periods will definitely stop after the procedure

Explanation

Tubal sterilisation is intended to provide permanent contraception, so the client must understand its permanence and available alternatives before consenting. It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and usually does not stop menstruation.
