OB Quizlet on Contraception Abortion and Womens Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is providing contraceptive instruction to a young couple who are eager to learn. The nurse should be cognizant of which information regarding the natural family planning method?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 2 of 5
A patient had unprotected sex yesterday. She is interested in emergency contraception. The nurse knows that the patient has how long to take the medication for it to be effective?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Emergency contraception is most effective if taken within 3 days after unprotected sex. The sooner it is taken, the more effective it is. Choice A and B are incorrect because they are too short a time window for emergency contraception to be effective. Choice D is also incorrect because most emergency contraceptive pills are not effective after 5 days.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is educating a male patient on how a vasectomy works. What is the best explanation for this procedure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A vasectomy involves blocking or cutting the vas deferens to prevent sperm from being ejaculated with semen, making it an effective method of contraception. Choice B is incorrect because the testicles are not removed during a vasectomy, only the vas deferens is altered. Choice C is incorrect because seminal fluid is still produced, but sperm are prevented from entering it. Choice D is incorrect because sperm are not killed, but rather prevented from mixing with semen.
Question 4 of 5
A patient is seen in the primary care clinic for a sinus infection and is prescribed antibiotics. The only other medication that this patient currently takes is an oral contraceptive. What is the most important education the nurse must give to the patient regarding her medications?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives, so it is important for the patient to use a backup contraceptive method during antibiotic treatment. Choice A, while important for gastrointestinal comfort, does not address the interaction between antibiotics and oral contraceptives. Choice C is incorrect because not all antibiotics affect oral contraceptives, but the patient should still be advised to use backup contraception. Choice D is incorrect because some antibiotics may interfere with oral contraceptive effectiveness.
Question 5 of 5
A postpartum client is getting ready to receive a Depo-Provera injection. Which statement by the client indicates that further teaching by the nurse is necessary?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The Depo-Provera injection is not given the same way as rubella injections. Depo-Provera is administered as an intramuscular injection, typically in the arm or buttocks, and requires follow-up every 3 months. Choice B is a reasonable statement as monitoring weight and maintaining exercise is important with Depo-Provera use. Choice C is correct because a follow-up appointment should occur every 3 months. Choice D is also true; it can take some time to return to fertility after using Depo-Provera.
