After reviewing the various contraceptive options with a client, the client opts for the etonogestrel/ethinyl estradiol vaginal ring
After teaching the client about this choice, the nurse determines that the teaching was effective when the client states which of the following?
A) "Once I insert the ring, it won't come out."
B) "The ring should stay in place for 3 weeks."
C) "When bleeding starts, that's the signal to change the ring."
D) "I can reuse the ring several times before discarding it."
Ans: B
Feedback:
When using the vaginal ring, the client should insert the ring and keep it in place for 3 weeks and then remove it on the same day of the week it was inserted. The ring can be expelled accidentally, such as with straining on defecation or removing a tampon. Typically, bleeding occurs once the ring is removed. The ring should be discarded after each use.
