The nurse is addressing condom use in the context of a health promotion workshop. When discussing the correct use of condoms, 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) Use skin lotion as a lubricant if alternatives are unavailable.
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 because they cause latex deterioration/condom breakage. The condom should be held during withdrawal so it does not come off the penis. Condoms should never be reused.
