OB Quizlet on Contraception Abortion and Womens Health Questions
Question 1 of 5
When discussing contraceptive options, the nurse would recommend which option as being the most reliable?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: An intrauterine system is the most reliable method because users have to consciously discontinue using them to become pregnant rather than making a proactive decision to avoid conception. Coitus interruptus, LAM, and natural family planning are behavioral methods of contraception and require active participation of the couple to prevent pregnancy.
Question 2 of 5
A woman is diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder. To address the woman's behavioral symptoms, which class of agents would the nurse anticipate needing to be addressed in the woman's teaching plan?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 3 of 5
Which finding would most likely indicate a complication in a client using a copper intrauterine device (IUD)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale of 500+ characters after 5 retries.
Question 4 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 5 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.
