Question 1 of 5

When developing a teaching plan for a couple who are considering contraception options, the nurse would include which statement?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: For a contraceptive to be most effective, the client must be able to use it correctly and consistently. Even if a method is considered 100% effective, it is not the best choice if the couple does not use it correctly or consistently. Cost is a consideration, but the least expensive method is not necessarily the best choice. The need for a prescription is not relevant to the couple's choice.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.

Question 3 of 5

A client who has been taking oral contraceptives consistently reports experiencing breakthrough bleeding. What action should the nurse recommend?

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.

Question 4 of 5

A couple is considering natural family planning as a method of contraception. What information should the nurse include in their education?

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: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
