A39-year-old multigravid client asks the nurse for information about female sterilization with a tubal ligation. which client statement indicates effective teaching? "after this procedure, i must abstain from intercourse for at least 3 weeks." "my fallopian tubes will be tied off through a small abdominal incision." "both of my ovaries will be removed during the tubal ligation procedure." "reversal of a tubal ligation is easily done, with a pregnancy success rate of 80%."

"After this procedure, I must abstain from intercourse for at least 3 weeks."

Explanation:

Sterilisation procedure takes time to be effective and a person would be required to go back for a check up in order to be certain that it was successful .

A person may risk being pregnant if they just get back from the procedure and become sexual active in just few days.

Until one has gone for a check up to see that it was successful they still can not be considered to be sterile in a medical point of view.

Since this is a medical procedure a person needs to heal properly first before they engage into physically demanding activities like sexual intercourse.
