Question 3 of 5
A nurse working in a family planning clinic is teaching a class on intrauterine devices (IUDs). Which patient should be advised against using an IUD for contraception?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: IUDs are contraindicated in women at high risk for STDs, such as those with multiple sexual partners, due to increased infection risk (e.g., pelvic inflammatory disease). Monogamous women (options A and B) and those with unrelated conditions like rosacea (D) are not at higher risk, making option C the patient to advise against IUD use.
Question 4 of 5
A patient receiving transurethral alprostadil asks about intracavernous administration. Which information would be included in the explanation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Transurethral alprostadil has fewer side effects (e.g., less priapism or fibrosis) compared to intracavernous injections, though both increase penile arterial flow. Intracavernous doses are lower (5-40 mcg vs. 125-1000 mcg transurethrally), and volume isn’t 0.1 mL, making option A the key distinction to explain.
Question 5 of 5
