A client has decided to use the depot injection delivery method of contraception. What information is most important for the nurse to share with this client to ensure consistent contraception?
1. "You must keep your 3-month appointment for your next injection."
2. "You will need to rest for 12 hours after receiving the injection."
3. "Do not rub the injection site immediately after you receive the injection."
4. "You must use sanitary pads instead of tampons when you have your period."
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: The client must receive an injection every 3 months to maintain contraception.
Rationale 2: Rest is not required after a depot injection.
Rationale 3: Rubbing the injection site will not affect the contraceptive effect of the medication.
Rationale 4: The client may use tampons or sanitary pads. Neither will affect the contraceptive effect of the medication.
Global Rationale: The client must receive an injection every 3 months to maintain contraception. Rest is not required after a depot injection. Rubbing the injection site will not affect the contraceptive effect of the medication. The client may use tampons or sanitary pads. Neither will affect the contraceptive effect of the medication.
