Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Douching within 6 hours of intercourse would remove the spermicide and increase the risk of pregnancy. Effectiveness is only 29 when used alone. The spermicidal foam or gel should be inserted 15 minutes before intercourse. One application is effective for about 1 hour.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The basal body temperature will increase about 0.4 to 0.8 F when ovulation occurs. The woman is fertile for up to 18 days. She should take her temperature on rising in the morning. A woman's temperature is usually higher in the second half of her cycle.
