Question 1 of 5

A patient is prescribed birth control pills. What should the nurse include in the patient education regarding missed doses?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as remembered and the next dose taken at the usual time. Choice A is incorrect because taking two doses at once may cause side effects. Choice C is incorrect because missing a dose does not require skipping the next dose. Choice D is incorrect because missing a dose does not typically require stopping the pills, but rather following instructions to compensate for the missed dose.

Question 2 of 5

What is the most effective form of contraception for a woman who has just given birth and is breastfeeding?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The copper IUD is a highly effective, long-term contraception method that does not interfere with breastfeeding. Choice A is incorrect because oral contraceptives may reduce milk supply, and many types are not recommended during breastfeeding. Choice C is incorrect because contraceptive injections may not be ideal during breastfeeding. Choice D is incorrect because emergency contraception is used only after unprotected sex and is not a long-term solution.

Question 3 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.
