A nurse in a provider's office is reviewing the medical record of a client who is requesting a diaphragm. Which of the following findings in the client's history should the nurse identify as a contraindication for this type of contraception?
Deep-vein thrombosis.
Tobacco use.
Recurrent urinary tract infections.
History of positive group B streptococcus B-hemolytic.
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) is a contraindication for diaphragm use due to the increased risk of thromboembolic events with estrogen-based contraceptives.
Choice B rationale
Tobacco use, although a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is not a direct contraindication for diaphragm use, which is a non-hormonal contraceptive method.
Choice C rationale
Recurrent urinary tract infections are a contraindication for diaphragm use due to the risk of infection exacerbation from device insertion.
Choice D rationale
History of positive group B streptococcus B-hemolytic is not a contraindication for diaphragm use; it typically relates to pregnancy and neonatal infection risk.

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Wearing an underwire bra is not recommended for clients with inverted nipples as it can cause discomfort and restrict milk flow. Proper support without constriction is essential.
Choice B rationale
Placing breast shells in the client's bra helps to draw out inverted nipples by applying gentle pressure, making breastfeeding easier. They also protect the nipples from friction and irritation.
Choice C rationale
Providing plastic-lined breast pads may prevent leakage, but they do not address the issue of inverted nipples. Proper nipple preparation is essential for effective breastfeeding.
Choice D rationale
Applying breast cream regularly might keep the skin hydrated, but it does not help to correct the inversion of the nipples. Mechanical aids like breast shells are more effective.
Correct Answer is B
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Elevating the client's legs is incorrect as an initial intervention. It is more important to address the potential cause of the late decelerations first.
Choice B rationale
Turning the client onto their side is correct. This intervention can improve blood flow to the fetus and reduce the pressure on the vena cava, potentially alleviating late decelerations.
Choice C rationale
Palpating the client's uterus is not the first action. It is essential to address maternal positioning and oxygenation issues first.
Choice D rationale
Increasing the client's IV fluid infusion rate may help, but it is not the initial action. Positioning changes can have an immediate effect on fetal oxygenation.
