The nurse is teaching a client how to prevent transmitting HIV to his sexual partner. Which statement by the client indicates that additional teaching is needed?
a. "I can throw the condoms in the trash af-ter I have used them."
b. "I will store my condoms in my wallet so they are always handy."
c. "Water-based lubricants are best to pre-vent condom breakage."
d. "The condom needs to stay on until I withdraw my penis."
B
Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place. Wallets are not recommended because body heat can weaken the latex in the condom. The condom should stay on the penis until it is completely withdrawn. Condoms should be used only once and then discarded. Oil-based lubricants can weaken latex, possibly causing tearing or leakage, so only water-based lubricants are recom-mended.
