Question 2 of 5
A nurse is discussing various ways to obtain a medical abortion with a patient. Which statement by the patient best demonstrates understanding of mifepristone (RU 486) [Mifeprex]? 'This drug is most effective if I use it:'
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Mifepristone (RU 486) is a progesterone antagonist used for medical abortion, most effective within 7 weeks of conception (gestational age), as it disrupts pregnancy maintenance. Earlier use (A, B, D) lacks a confirmed pregnancy or sufficient progesterone activity to target, making option C the correct understanding.
Question 3 of 5
A patient with erectile dysfunction is prescribed tadalafil (Cialis) 2.5 mg daily. Which medication history finding would indicate the need to discontinue this prescription?

Rationale: Tadalafil, a PDE-5 inhibitor, is contraindicated with nitrates (e.g., Nitro-tab) due to profound hypotension risk from enhanced vasodilation. Other drugs (A, C: beta-blockers; B: antibiotic) may require caution but aren’t absolute contraindications, making option D the critical finding necessitating discontinuation.
