The nurse educator is teaching a group of teens and 20-year-olds reproductive health care. When several of the women bring up douching, what is the best response the nurse could make?
 
  1. One should always douche after having intercourse.
  2. When douching, use force putting them in and get the solution up high.
  3. It is a good idea to douche before intercourse so the area is clean for the sperm.
  4. Douching is unnecessary because the lining of the vagina has numerous glands that provide natural cleansing.

Answer to Question 1

Explanation: 2. The top priority is to relieve compression on the umbilical cord to allow blood flow to reach the fetus. It is because some obstetric maneuvers to relieve cord compression are complicated that cesarean birth is sometimes necessary.
