A woman wants a condom to remain effective during intercourse. Which action should the nurse teach?

Correct answer: A. Use a new condom for every act of intercourse

  • A. Use a new condom for every act of intercourse
  • B. Put the condom on after genital contact has begun
  • C. Reuse the condom if it has no visible tear
  • D. Apply oil-based lubricant to prevent breakage

Explanation

A new condom is needed for every act and should be put on before genital contact. Reuse is unsafe, and oil-based products can weaken latex condoms and increase the chance of breakage.
