Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The contraceptive sponge should be left in place for at least 6 hours after sexual intercourse, but no longer than 30 hours total. Leaving the sponge in place for too long after intercourse can increase the risk of toxic shock syndrome. Therefore, the client needs further instruction on the appropriate timing for removal of the sponge.
