NCLEX PN Practice Test Practice Question

The nurse prepares a client for discharge following a vasectomy. The client asks, 'When can I have sexual intercourse with my wife without using a condom?' What is the best response by the nurse?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: A vasectomy requires confirmation of azoospermia via semen analysis, typically after 6-12 weeks or 15-20 ejaculations, to ensure sterility. Alternative birth control (C) is needed until this confirmation. Immediate unprotected intercourse (A) risks pregnancy, and 6 months (B) is unnecessarily long.
