Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods Quizlet Questions
Question 1 of 5
A client comes to the clinic with abdominal pain. Based on her history the nurse suspects endometriosis. The nurse expects to prepare the client for which evaluatory method to confirm this suspicion?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The only certain method of diagnosing endometriosis is by seeing it. Therefore, the nurse would expect to prepare the client for a laparoscopy to confirm the diagnosis. A pelvic examination and transvaginal ultrasound are done to assess for endometriosis but do not confirm its presence. Hysterosalpingography aids in identifying tubal problems resulting in infertility.
Question 2 of 5
A client who has been taking oral contraceptives consistently reports experiencing breakthrough bleeding. What action should the nurse recommend?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Breakthrough bleeding can occur when the hormonal levels in oral contraceptives are not adequate for the individual. The nurse should recommend that the client consult the health care provider for possible adjustment of the contraceptive dosage rather than switching methods or discontinuing use without guidance.
Question 3 of 5
A couple is considering natural family planning as a method of contraception. What information should the nurse include in their education?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Natural family planning, including the fertility awareness method, requires consistent tracking of signs such as basal body temperature and cervical mucus to identify fertile and infertile periods. It is not highly effective without effort, does not eliminate the need for other forms of contraception during fertile periods, and provides no protection against STIs.
Question 4 of 5
When educating a group of women about the risks of osteoporosis, which statement by a participant indicates a need for additional teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Smoking does not help keep bones strong; it actually increases the risk of osteoporosis. Therefore, this misconception requires additional teaching. Adequate calcium and vitamin D intake, avoiding excessive alcohol, and engaging in weight-bearing exercises are all correct measures to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
Question 5 of 5
"Which measure would the nurse include in the teaching plan for a woman to reduce the risk of osteoporosis after menopause?"
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Measures to reduce osteoporosis after menopause include daily weight-bearing exercise, increasing calcium and vitamin D intake, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake. General vitamin supplements may be helpful overall, but they are not specific to reducing the risk of osteoporosis. A diet high in calcium and vitamin D, not fiber and calories, would be appropriate. Restricting fluids would have no effect on preventing osteoporosis.
