Feedback:
When teaching an adolescent about condom use, the nurse should tell the adolescent to put the condom on before any genital contact. A new condom should be used with each act of sexual intercourse; a condom should never be reused. Condoms should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and never stored in wallets, automobiles, or anywhere they could be exposed to extreme temperatures. Only water-soluble lubricants should be used with latex condoms. Oil-based or petroleum-based lubricants such as Vaseline can weaken latex condoms.
