Male condom 86% effectiveness
Reduce the risk of many STI, Available over-the-counter, Inexpensive
Diaphragm 80% effectiveness
Can last for one to two years
Advantages and Disadvantages of Diaphragm:
Advantages:
Reversible: The diaphragm is a reversible method, allowing women to discontinue its use when they desire pregnancy.
Non-Hormonal: Unlike hormonal methods, the diaphragm does not involve the use of hormones, making it suitable for women who cannot or prefer not to use hormonal contraceptives.
Immediate Effect: The diaphragm provides immediate contraceptive protection once fitted correctly.
No Interruption of Sexual Spontaneity: Once inserted, the diaphragm does not require removal or additional steps during sexual intercourse.
Few Side Effects: Diaphragms generally have fewer systemic side effects compared to hormonal methods.
Disadvantages:
Effectiveness Depends on Correct Use: The diaphragm's effectiveness depends on correct insertion and proper use, which may require training and practice.
Doesn't Protect Against STIs: The diaphragm provides no protection against sexually transmitted infections (STIs). It is solely a contraceptive method.
Possible Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to the materials (latex or silicone) used in diaphragms.
Spermicide Use: The diaphragm is typically used with a spermicidal gel or cream, which may cause irritation for some women.
Need for Refitting: Significant weight gain, loss, or childbirth may necessitate refitting for an accurately sized diaphragm.
Interrupts Spontaneity: While it does not interrupt sexual spontaneity once inserted, the need to insert it before intercourse may still affect spontaneity.
22. What are the five rights for correct drug administration?
The "Five Rights" are a set of principles aimed at ensuring the safe and accurate administration of medications. These rights serve as a fundamental framework for healthcare professionals, including nurses and pharmacists, to follow during the medication administration process. The Five Rights are:
Right Patient:
- Ensure that the medication is prescribed for the correct patient. Verify the patient's identity using at least two patient identifiers (such as name and date of birth) before administering any medication.
Right Drug:
- Confirm that the medication prescribed matches the medication to be administered. Check the medication label and compare it with the medication order. Be attentive to look-alike and sound-alike medications.
Right Dose:
- Administer the correct dosage of the medication as prescribed. Double-check the dosage calculations and ensure that the amount to be administered aligns with the healthcare provider's order.
Right Route:
- Administer the medication by the correct route as specified in the prescription. Common routes include oral (by mouth), intravenous (IV), intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SC), and others. Confirm that the chosen route is appropriate for the specific medication.
Right Time:
- Administer the medication at the prescribed time. Follow the prescribed schedule to ensure that the medication is given when it is most effective and aligns with the patient's routine or specific healthcare needs.
