OB Quizlet on Contraception Abortion and Womens Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient has just had a Mirena IUD inserted. What is the most important information for the nurse to include in the post-procedure instructions?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient should be instructed to check the strings of the IUD regularly to ensure it remains in place. Choice A is not accurate because while cramping is common, rest is not necessarily required for several days. Choice C is not required; there is no need to avoid sexual activity unless there is an infection or other complication. Choice D is incorrect as Mirena typically reduces bleeding or makes periods lighter.
Question 2 of 5
A 45-year-old woman presents to the clinic for advice about contraception. What is the most appropriate contraception method for a woman who is nearing menopause?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: An IUD with progestin is a highly effective and safe method for women nearing menopause, as it provides long-term contraception without the need for hormones that may interfere with menopause. Choice A is not ideal because the hormonal load of oral contraceptives with estrogen may cause side effects for women approaching menopause. Choice B may be effective but is not usually the first choice for women nearing menopause due to potential side effects. Choice D is less effective when compared to IUDs.

Question 5 of 5
When the nurse is assisting a person desiring contraception, a history and physical is done. What is an important question the nurse should ask?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When assisting a person desiring contraception, asking whether they have ever been pregnant is an important question because it helps the healthcare provider assess the individual's past reproductive history, including any pregnancies and potential complications. This information is important in determining the most suitable contraceptive options for the person, taking into account their previous experiences with pregnancy and childbirth. It can also help in evaluating the effectiveness of their past contraceptive methods and guide the selection of appropriate contraceptive counseling and options.
