What information regarding the advantages of an intrauterine device (IUD) should the
nurse provide?
The advantage of an intrauterine device (IUD) is its longevity because it can be effective and
work for 1 to 10 years but if it's hormonal then only 3 to 5 years. It can be inserted after giving
birth, having an abortion, or a miscarriage. It is easily removed and has no direct effect on
fertility after it is no longer used. Moreover, it can be used on patients that are breastfeeding and

the hormonal option can use the non-hormonal option made of copper and it does not interfere
with spontaneity.
