A) Do not use once menses begins.
B) Eat yogurt daily.
C) Lie down for 1 hour after insertion.
D) Wash applicator after each use.
D
Feedback:
Reinfection can occur if the applicator is not washed after each use. The vaginal medication should be continued as prescribed and used through the menses. Although eating yogurt containing active cultures of lactobacilli can be helpful to replenish normal vaginal flora, this is not specific to insertion of vaginal medications. The client should be instructed to remain recumbent for at least 10 to 15 minutes after insertion to provide adequate time for direct contact with the medication instilled.
