Question 1 of 5
A nurse at a family practice clinic receives a call from a client who is prescribed oral contraceptives but forgot to take one dose. The client reports she is in the first week of a 28-day cycle pack. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Take the missed dose now, then continue the medication as ordered. The rationale for this is to ensure contraceptive efficacy. In the first week of the pack, missing a single dose can decrease the effectiveness of the contraceptive. By taking the missed dose as soon as possible and continuing with the regular schedule, the client minimizes the risk of ovulation and unintended pregnancy.
Choice A is incorrect as abruptly stopping the pills can lead to contraceptive failure.
Choice B is unnecessary at this point as the focus should be on contraceptive management.
Choice C is not a practical solution as missing one pill does not warrant avoiding intercourse for an entire cycle.
