Question 1 of 5
A woman visits a health center requesting oral contraceptives. Which laboratory test is most important for the nurse to assess before the patient begins oral contraceptive therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pregnancy test. Before starting oral contraceptives, it is crucial to rule out pregnancy to prevent potential harm to the fetus. Oral contraceptives are contraindicated during pregnancy due to the risk of birth defects and complications. Vaginal cultures (choice
A) are not necessary before starting oral contraceptives. While a complete blood count (choice
B) and serum potassium level (choice
C) are important for monitoring during oral contraceptive therapy, they are not essential before initiating treatment. The most critical assessment prior to starting oral contraceptives is to confirm the absence of pregnancy through a pregnancy test.
