The nurse is presenting a class on condom use at the local health department. When discussing the correct condom application technique, what should the nurse tell the attendees?

A) Attach the condom prior to erection.
B) A condom may be reused with the same partner if ejaculation has not occurred.
C) Hand lotion is an acceptable form of lubricant.
D) Hold the condom by the cuff upon withdrawal.


Ans: D
Feedback: The condom should be unrolled over the hard penis before any kind of sex. The condom should be held by the tip to squeeze out air. Skin lotions, baby oil, petroleum jelly, or cold cream should not be used with condoms (they cause latex deterioration/condom breakage). The condom should be held during withdrawal so it does not come off the penis.
