Contraception Questions and Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 26-year-old woman is interested in using an IUD for contraception. What is the primary advantage of using an IUD over other contraceptive methods?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: One of the primary advantages of the IUD is that it requires no daily action, making it a convenient and reliable method. Choice B is incorrect because it may take a few days for some types of IUDs to provide full protection. Choice C is incorrect because immediate protection may not be ensured immediately after insertion, especially for hormonal IUDs. Choice D is incorrect because IUDs typically last for several years, not just 6 months.
Question 2 of 5
One goal of Healthy People 2030 is to improve pregnancy planning and prevent unintended pregnancy. What is a negative outcome related to unintended pregnancy that is related to this HP goal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Depression and anxiety are negative outcomes related to unintended pregnancy that align with the goal of improving pregnancy planning and preventing unintended pregnancies in Healthy People 2030. Unintended pregnancies can lead to increased stress and mental health issues for individuals who may not have been prepared or ready for a pregnancy. This can result in higher levels of depression and anxiety, impacting both the individual's well-being and potentially their relationships and overall quality of life. By focusing on improving pregnancy planning and preventing unintended pregnancy, Healthy People 2030 aims to reduce these negative outcomes and promote better mental health outcomes for individuals and families.
Question 3 of 5
A 28-year-old patient has decided to use the patch contraception. The nurse is educating her on the best site to use. Where is the best place to put the patch? Select one that does not that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The best sites for applying the contraceptive patch are the buttocks, arm, and leg. These areas have sufficient fat and are away from areas that might rub off the patch. Choice B (Neck) is incorrect as the neck is not recommended for patch application due to the potential for irritation and the high blood flow area. Choice C (Breast) is not recommended because the breast tissue may affect the adhesion of the patch.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following best describes the mechanism of action of birth control pills?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Birth control pills primarily work by preventing ovulation, thereby inhibiting the release of eggs for fertilization. Choice A is incorrect because birth control pills do not directly block sperm; they prevent ovulation. Choice C is partially correct but is not the main mechanism, as the primary function is to prevent ovulation. Choice D is incorrect because birth control pills do not alter the size of reproductive organs.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is providing education on a medical abortion. How would she describe the action of the medications?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Medications used in a medical abortion typically consist of a combination of Mifepristone and Misoprostol. The action of these medications involves three main effects: softening the cervix to facilitate the expulsion of the pregnancy tissue, causing necrosis of the uterine lining to disrupt the pregnancy, and inducing contractions to expel the contents of the uterus. This process is different from a surgical abortion, which involves a procedure to remove the pregnancy tissue from the uterus.
