Question 3 of 5
Which of the following best describes the mechanism of action of birth control pills?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Birth control pills primarily work by preventing ovulation, thereby inhibiting the release of eggs for fertilization. Choice A is incorrect because birth control pills do not directly block sperm; they prevent ovulation. Choice C is partially correct but is not the main mechanism, as the primary function is to prevent ovulation. Choice D is incorrect because birth control pills do not alter the size of reproductive organs.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse assesses a patient for medical eligibility for contraceptive use. What is the meaning of an MEC score of 1?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: In the context of medical eligibility for contraceptive use, an MEC (Medical Eligibility Criteria) score of 1 indicates that there are no restrictions for using the particular contraceptive method. A score of 1 suggests that the advantages of using the contraceptive method outweigh any potential risks, making it a safe and recommended choice for the patient. Therefore, a patient with an MEC score of 1 can use the contraceptive method without any concerns regarding health risks or restrictions.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is discussing contraceptive options with a patient who states they want to become pregnant in 1 year. Which contraception choice would be appropriate for them? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Fertility awareness methods involve tracking a woman's menstrual cycle to identify the fertile window when pregnancy is most likely to occur. This method does not interfere with future fertility and can be used by individuals who plan to become pregnant in the near future. Since the patient expressed a desire to conceive in one year, fertility awareness methods would be the most appropriate contraceptive option for them.
