Contraception Questions and Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
A young girl comes to the OB-GYN office to begin contraception. What is the most important information the nurse should find in the history before starting a contraceptive?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Cramps that interfere with daily activities could indicate underlying issues that need to be addressed before starting contraception. This is a priority because it could suggest a need for further evaluation or treatment before prescribing a contraceptive method.
Choice B is important but less critical than assessing the impact of menstrual symptoms on daily life.
Choice C, while important for overall health, does not have a direct impact on contraception planning.
Choice D is less useful in this context compared to understanding how menstrual symptoms affect daily functioning.
Question 2 of 5
