Provide privacy for the discussion.
Considerations when teaching about contraception.
When discussing contractiption, include the womans?
Partner if she wishes.
The avoidance of sexual intercourse or any activity which would allow sperm to enter the vagina is the only completely effective method of preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STD's)?
Abstinence
No drugs, no hormones, no devices, free, no side effects?
Advantages of abstinence
Requires perfection in use, often difficult to achieve. If not used adequately, pregnancy rates are as high as 85%?
Disadvantages of abstinence
Some contraceptive method should be used by?
6 months or before the time that a mother is using supplementary feedings or after first menses.
Inhibits ovulation but is a less reliable method of contraception because many things can alter hormone production. Another contraceptive method should be used by 6 months or before that time if the mother uses supplementary feedings or resumes her menses?

Advantages of breastfeeding
Infants must be totally breast fed, breastfeeding must continue day and night, ovulation can occur without the womans knowledge?

Disadvantages of Diaphragm
Inspect for small holes, use spermicide in the dome and around the rim, empty bladder before use, insert while squatting or placing one foot on a chair, be sure the front rim fits behind the pubic bone, cervix should be felt through the center of the diaphragm, use more spermicide if repeated use within 6 hour time frame, leave it in place for 6 hours after, no more than 24 hours after, replace every two years?

Disadvantages of Emergency Contraception (Morning After pill)
Take as soon as possible after unprotected intercourse. It works best if taken within 72 hours but it may be taken as long as 120 hours after intercourse, take together or 12 hours apart, antiemetics may be given for nausea, some providers give women prescriptions to have on hand in case of need, may be obtained from pharmacists in some areas, further information available at 1-888-NOT-2-LATE or www.not-2-late.com?

Contain estrogen and progestin or progestin alone. Combination contraceptives cause cervical mucus to become too thick for sperm to penetrate, inhibit ovulation, impair sperm capacitation, slow tubal motility, and make the endometrium less hopitable to implantation.

Part of the teaching for Oral Contraceptives
Progestin-only contraceptives do not affect mild production and are more appropriate during lactation than combination OCs. They are often started at 6 weeks postpartum.
Inform the health care provider of all medications being used. OC interaction with other drugs may decrease effectiveness of both (e.g., some anticonvulsant, anti-tuberculosis, and antifungal drugs, St John's wort, some antiviral drugs).
