OB Quizlet on Contraception Abortion and Womens Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient who uses a diaphragm as contraception asks if they need to use a backup method. What should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The diaphragm should be used with spermicide for maximum effectiveness. Choice A is incorrect because while the diaphragm is effective, spermicide enhances its performance and ensures greater protection. Choice C is unnecessary, as the diaphragm alone with spermicide is sufficient. Choice D is incorrect because while regular replacement is recommended, it does not require a backup method.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
