Contraception Questions and Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
One goal of Healthy People 2030 is to improve pregnancy planning and prevent unintended pregnancy. What is a negative outcome related to unintended pregnancy that is related to this HP goal?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Depression and anxiety are negative outcomes related to unintended pregnancy that align with the goal of improving pregnancy planning and preventing unintended pregnancies in Healthy People 2030. Unintended pregnancies can lead to increased stress and mental health issues for individuals who may not have been prepared or ready for a pregnancy. This can result in higher levels of depression and anxiety, impacting both the individual's well-being and potentially their relationships and overall quality of life. By focusing on improving pregnancy planning and preventing unintended pregnancy, Healthy People 2030 aims to reduce these negative outcomes and promote better mental health outcomes for individuals and families.
Question 2 of 5
When evaluating cervical mucus, what is the quality of spinnbarkeit?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The quality of spinnbarkeit refers to the elasticity of cervical mucus. Spinnbarkeit is a term used to describe the stretchability or stretchy quality of cervical mucus during ovulation. This elasticity is an important characteristic as it indicates the fertile window for a woman trying to conceive. High levels of spinnbarkeit allow for easier passage and survival of sperm, increasing the chances of conception. The other choices (B. amount, C. clarity, D. color) do not specifically refer to the stretchability or elasticity of cervical mucus, which is what is assessed when evaluating spinnbarkeit.
Question 3 of 5
Why would FAM not be appropriate for the nurse to recommend to a perimenopausal person?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fertility Awareness Methods (FAM) rely on tracking menstrual cycles and using that information to predict fertile and infertile days. In perimenopausal individuals, menstrual periods can become irregular due to hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause. As a result, it can be challenging to accurately determine fertile and infertile days, making FAM less effective for contraception in this population. Therefore, recommending FAM to a perimenopausal person with irregular menstrual periods would not be appropriate.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse provides counseling on coitus interruptus. What important counseling should be included?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The important counseling that should be included when discussing coitus interruptus (withdrawal method) is that the partners must communicate well to use this method effectively. Coitus interruptus involves the male partner withdrawing his penis from the vagina before ejaculation to prevent sperm from entering the woman's reproductive tract. Effective communication between partners is crucial to ensure that the method is used correctly and consistently. This method does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs), so it's also important to discuss alternative methods of contraception for STI prevention. The statement that this method is 100 percent effective is incorrect, as pre-ejaculate can contain sperm and there is a risk of pregnancy if withdrawal is not done correctly.
Question 5 of 5
What is an advantage of the cervical cap over the diaphragm?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The advantage of the cervical cap over the diaphragm is that it typically has a lower failure rate in preventing pregnancy. Failure rates for contraceptive methods refer to the percentage of women who become pregnant within the first year of typical use. The cervical cap is generally associated with a lower failure rate compared to the diaphragm due to its snugger fit and ability to cover the cervix more effectively, resulting in better protection against sperm entering the uterus. This makes the cervical cap a more reliable option for women seeking effective contraception.
