Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Breakthrough bleeding can occur when the hormonal levels in oral contraceptives are not adequate for the individual. The nurse should recommend that the client consult the health care provider for possible adjustment of the contraceptive dosage rather than switching methods or discontinuing use without guidance.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Natural family planning, including the fertility awareness method, requires consistent tracking of signs such as basal body temperature and cervical mucus to identify fertile and infertile periods. It is not highly effective without effort, does not eliminate the need for other forms of contraception during fertile periods, and provides no protection against STIs.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Emergency contraception is most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, though it can be taken up to 120 hours afterward. It inhibits follicular development if taken before ovulation, reducing the risk of pregnancy by up to 75%. Nausea is the most common side effect, not menorrhagia.
