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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Emergency contraception is most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, though it can be taken up to 120 hours afterward. It inhibits follicular development if taken before ovulation, reducing the risk of pregnancy by up to 75%. Nausea is the most common side effect, not menorrhagia.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The LAM works best when the mother is exclusively or almost exclusively breastfeeding. Disruptions in breastfeeding patterns can increase the risk of pregnancy. Effectiveness decreases after 6 months or when menstruation resumes, and feeding intervals should not exceed 4 hours during the day and 6 hours at night.
