A nurse is educating a client on the basal body temperature method as a form of contraception. Which statement by the client ind
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

"Immediately following ovulation my temperature will increase."

Explanation:

One type of contraceptive method is basal temperature, which is based on body temperature analysis to detect the fertile period. This measurement should be done daily, for graphing, and with the body at rest (after at least six hours of sleep). The temperature should always be measured with the same thermometer to avoid variations. In case of breakage, the material change should be noted on the chart. The place to check the temperature can be oral, rectal or vaginal and should be the same for the entire cycle.

During the woman's cycle, at the time of ovulation, the yellow body, which secretes estrogen and progesterone, forms. The latter is related to the rise in temperature by a few tenths of a degree due to its thermogenic effect. To confirm that this phase has begun, it is important for the woman to understand if there was a difference of at least 0.2ºC between one temperature and another. For this reason, the client exposed in the question, shows that she understood everything about this contraceptive method when she says "Immediately after ovulation, my temperature will rise."

Im not better
Lisa [10]
Im sorry you shouldn’t feel like you have to please everyone all the time, I think you should talk to someone, sometimes it’s feels worse to wait and wait for someone to help you, you have to help yourself. I know that can be hard and you don’t want to face the people in your life and tell them you’re not okay, but I promise you’ll feel much better. You don’t have to put up a front.
