A woman currently uses a diaphragm and spermicide for contraception. She asks the nurse what the major differences are between the cervical cap and diaphragm. The nurse's most appropriate response is:
a. "No spermicide is used with the cervical cap, so it's less messy."
b. "The diaphragm can be left in place longer after intercourse."
c. "Repeated intercourse with the diaphragm is more convenient."
d. "The cervical cap can safely be used for repeated acts of intercourse without adding more spermicide later."
D
Feedback
A Spermicide should be used inside the cap as an additional chemical barrier.
B The cervical cap should remain in place for 6 hours after the last act of inter-course.
C Repeated intercourse with the cervical cap is more convenient, because no addi-tional spermicide is needed.
D The cervical cap can be inserted hours before sexual intercourse without the need for additional spermicide later. No additional spermicide is required for repeated acts of intercourse.
