Question 1 of 5
An adolescent female patient with multiple sexual partners asks a nurse about birth control methods. The patient tells the nurse she tried oral contraceptives once but often forgot to take her pills. The nurse will recommend discussing which contraceptive method with the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: For an adolescent with poor adherence to daily pills and multiple partners, DMPA (Depo-Provera), a long-acting injectable contraceptive, is ideal due to its 3-month duration, while condoms protect against STDs. IUDs increase STD risk in this population, tubal ligation is permanent and unsuitable for her age, and progestin-only pills still require daily adherence, making option B the best choice.
