Question 5 of 5
The nurse assesses a patient for medical eligibility for contraceptive use. What is the meaning of an MEC score of 2?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: An MEC score of 2 indicates that there is an unacceptable health risk if the contraceptive method is used. This means that the potential health risks associated with using this particular contraceptive method outweigh the benefits.

It is essential for healthcare providers to meticulously assess the medical eligibility of a patient before recommending any contraceptive method to ensure the safety and well-being of the individual.
