Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The diaphragm must be used during each episode of sexual activity. It must be inserted up to two hours before intercourse and should be left in place for at least six hours afterward. It needs to be refitted if the client loses or gains 10 pounds or more, has had a full-term pregnancy or an abortion in the second trimester or later or has undergone gynecological surgery.

Answer: C 
 The diaphragm's effectiveness increases with the use of spermicidal jelly, which kills sperm. The diaphragm may be purchased in several sizes and should be fitted by a healthcare provider.

Therefore, answer A and D are inaccurate.
