Question 4 of 5
A patient calls a family planning clinic and tells the nurse that her vaginal ring, which has been in place for 2 weeks, came out sometime during the night while she was sleeping. The nurse will instruct her to:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: If a vaginal ring is expelled before 3 weeks and the duration out is uncertain (e.g., during sleep), it can be cleaned with warm water and reinserted, but backup contraception like condoms is needed for 7 days if it was out for more than 3 hours to ensure efficacy. Discarding it or using hot water is unnecessary and incorrect, making option A the most appropriate instruction.
Question 5 of 5
A woman has been taking a progestin-only oral contraceptive and will begin using a vaginal ring. The nurse will teach the patient to insert the ring:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: When transitioning from a progestin-only pill to a vaginal ring, inserting the ring on the last pill day ensures continuous contraception, but backup contraception is needed for 7 days due to the ring’s gradual hormone release. Other timings (B, C, D) risk gaps or overlap, making option A the correct instruction.
