Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a group of young women about the use of oral contraceptives. The nurse should teach that taking Which of the following herbal preparations reduces the effectiveness of this birth control method?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: St. John's wort. St. John's wort can reduce the effectiveness of oral contraceptives by speeding up the breakdown of estrogen and progestin in the body, leading to decreased contraceptive levels. This can result in reduced contraceptive efficacy and increase the risk of unintended pregnancy. Saw palmetto, Ginseng, and Gingko Siloba do not have known interactions with oral contraceptives.
