Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptive Methods Quizlet Questions
Question 1 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 2 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.
Question 3 of 5
Which client would be an ideal candidate for injectable progestins such as medroxyprogesterone acetate as a contraceptive choice?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Injectable progestins require only four injections per year, making them suitable for clients who struggle with daily compliance. While other factors like thrombotic risks or irregular healthcare access are important considerations, the primary advantage here is convenience for those who forget daily doses.
