a. Condoms offer 100% protection against pregnancy.
b. Water-soluble lubricants should be used to reduce the risk of breakage.
c. The condom should tightly cover the tip of the penis.
d. Natural skin condoms are best for preventing infections.
ANS: B
Water-soluble lubricants help prevent breakage and may also increase the partner's comfort. The failure rate for condoms is 14% (2% if used with spermicide). There should be a half inch of empty space in the condom at the end of the penis to collect sperm. Natural skin condoms do not prevent transmission of infection.
