Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option D correctly indicates that the patient understands the need for contraception when resuming sexual activity in order to avoid pregnancy. Option A is incorrect because ovulation can occur before the first menstrual period, making it possible to become pregnant. Option B may also be incorrect as breastfeeding may not be a reliable form of contraception. Option C is incorrect because a diaphragm should not be used until after the uterus has returned to its pre-pregnancy size, and it should be refitted by a healthcare provider.
