Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client currently taking a combination birth control pill for contraception prevention. Which adverse effect would the nurse closely monitor for associated with this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Thromboembolism. Combination birth control pills containing estrogen increase the risk of thromboembolism (blood clots). Estrogen in the pill can promote clot formation, especially in individuals with additional risk factors. Monitoring for signs of thromboembolism is crucial to prevent serious complications like pulmonary embolism or stroke. Hypertension (
A) is a possible side effect but not as directly linked to birth control pills. Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (
B) is a common side effect but not as serious as thromboembolism. Osteoporosis (
D) is not typically associated with combination birth control pills.
