Which statement by a client with a new intrauterine device shows understanding of the teaching?
- “The IUD will protect me from sexually transmitted infections.”
- “I will check for my IUD strings once a month.”
- “Spotting after insertion means I must have it removed right away.”
- “I should have the IUD replaced every year.”
Show answer
Correct answer: “I will check for my IUD strings once a month.”
IUD strings can be checked monthly. IUDs do not protect against STIs, and side effects usually resolve within three to six months.
