A 26-year old mother of three children tells the nurse at her annual check-up that she does not want to have any more children; however, her religion forbids the use of contraceptive devices
Which of the following methods would be the best option for this client? A) Rhythm method
B) Diaphragm
C) Intrauterine device
D) Hormonal method
A
Feedback:
Fertility awareness methods (FAMs) include the rhythm method, which involves limiting sexual intercourse to the time during the woman's menstrual cycle when she is most likely to be infertile. This method does not involve contraceptive devices. Barrier methods, such as diaphragms and IUDs interfere with conception by physically preventing sperm from fertilizing ova. Barriers work through mechanical and chemical means. Hormonal methods of birth control alter a woman's normal hormone level to prevent ovulation and thus the chances for conception.
