Which disadvantage of the diaphragm for birth control would be emphasized to the
client receiving instruction from the nurse regarding family planning methods?
A) Its failure rate is 50% when it is used alone
B) It is physically uncomfortable when in place
C) Thrombus formation and pulmonary emboli may occur
D) Some women find its insertion and removal inconvenient
Rationale: The diaphragm requires proper insertion before intercourse and must remain in
place for a period after, which some women find inconvenient. The failure rate is not 50%
when used correctly. Thrombus formation and pulmonary emboli are risks associated with
hormonal contraceptives, not the diaphragm.
Which guideline is useful for reducing disparity when caring for transgender clients?
A) Learning about health care needs of homosexual clients
B) Always referring to transgender clients using pronouns of the sex with which they were
born
C) Always referring to transgender clients using pronouns of the sex with which they
transition
D) Learning about the treatment options for transgender clients and requirements of
follow-up care
Rationale: Learning about treatment options and follow-up care for transgender clients
helps reduce disparity by improving culturally competent care. Using pronouns of the sex
assigned at birth is disrespectful. Assuming pronouns is inappropriate; the nurse should
ask the client's preferred pronouns.

daughter was foolish and became pregnant despite several discussions with the
mother about birth control?
A) "Apparently your daughter wasn't listening to you."
B) "You should have made sure that her boyfriend understood birth control too."

,sexual partners."
D) "Although teenagers can intellectually discuss birth control, they often don't believe that
they will become pregnant."

consequences will happen to them. This is a developmental characteristic, not a failure of
communication. The other responses are judgmental and unhelpful.
