A provider in a family planning clinic is teaching a class on intrauterine devices (IUDs). Which patient should be advised against using an IUD for contraception?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A woman with multiple sexual partners may have a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and the insertion of an IUD could potentially increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) if an STI is present. This does not mean IUDs are contraindicated for all women with multiple partners, but they should be counseled on the risks and benefits, and screening for STIs should be considered. The other options (A, B, D) are not contraindications for IUD use.
