Category - The Postpartum Period

A female client visits the clinic to learn more about her contraceptive options. The client has a new partner and is a practicing Catholic. Which of the following contraceptive method is least likely to be appropriate for the client?
  1. Basal body temperature method
  2. Symptothermal method
  3. Periodic abstinence
  4. Spermicides
Explanation
Answer: D - The use of spermicides is unlikely to be an appropriate method of contraception for the client. Artificial methods are not acceptable for Catholics. If the client is fertile and does not wish to use artificial birth control, she may practice periodic abstinence to lower her chances of conceiving. She can determine when her fertile periods are through the basal body temperature method and symptothermal method.
