An adolescent female who has recently started menstruating asks for a highly reliable birth control method. Which method should the nurse discuss with the patient?
A) Postcoital douching
B) An intrauterine device
C) An ovulation suppressant
D) Vaginal foam for her and a condom for her partner
D
Feedback:
For many adolescent couples, use of a dual method, such as a vaginally inserted spermicide by the girl and a condom by her partner, is a preferred method of birth control. Postcoital douching is not a method of birth control. Intrauterine devices are rarely used for early adolescents because the uterus may still be small. Ovulation suppressants are not recommended until a female has been menstruating for at least 2 years.
