A client is 27 years old and delivered her first baby yesterday. She and her husband do not want to have another baby for at least 3 to 4 years. The best method of birth control to meet their needs is:
a. withdrawal.
b. fertility awareness method.
c. combination of condoms and foam.
d. vasectomy with a reversal in 3 years.
ANS: C
Of the methods listed, condoms and foam would be the best for this couple. Withdrawal is the least effective form of birth control. Fertility awareness is not that effective and an unwanted pregnancy could result. They want another child so a vasectomy with a reversal would not be an appropriate option.
