Answer: 2, 3, 5 ii. 2. Efficacy of contraceptive methods varies and must be considered when discussing contraception with clients. When pregnancy is medically contraindicated, high-efficacy methods (such as an IUD, hormonal methods, or sterilization) should be discussed with the client. When the client would like to avoid pregnancy at this time, but pregnancy is not medically contraindicated, lower-efficacy methods (such as diaphragm, cervical cap, or Today sponge) could be discussed. iii. 3. If a client desires children in the future, sterilization methods would be inappropriate to discuss. iv. 5.

If contraceptives are to be started at any time other than during normal menses or within 3 weeks after birth or an abortion, then another method of contraception should be used through the first week to prevent the risk of pregnancy. Taken exactly as directed, oral contraceptives prevent ovulation, and pregnancy cannot occur. No strong pharmacokinetic evidence indicates a link between the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and altered hormonal levels in oral contraceptive users. If the client misses two pills during week 1, then she should take two pills a day for 2 days and finish the package and use a backup contraceptive method for the next 7 consecutive days.

i. A fitted pessary may be inserted into the vagina to support the uterus and hold it in the correct position. Usually a pessary is used for only a short time and is not used for the client with a cystocele. A rectocele cannot be corrected by the use of a pessary. A pessary is not likely the most effective treatment for stress incontinence.

58) The nurse would tell the patient to expect what after she had an intrauterine device (IUD) inserted a. Menstrual flow will be lighter. b. Menstrual cramps will be eliminated. c. A string should be felt in the vagina. d. The device should be changed every 2 years

Schedule the client for follow-up baseline diagnostic testing to confirm that the client is not pregnant. b. Obtain information for an alternate contraception method. c. Ask the client for additional information related to her menstrual cycle. d. Inspect the skin for site selection of contraceptive method.

i. ANS: B ii. According to WHO (World Health Organization) guidelines, women should not be on Depo-Provera for more than 2 years because of bone density loss. Therefore, the nurse should include assessments for other types of contraception methods for the client. Although it may prove to be important to rule out possible pregnancy, based on the provided information, discontinuation of this method is the priority intervention. Depo-Provera can cause menstrual irregularities, but this is not the priority intervention. The nurse can follow up on this issue later. Because the current method of contraception should no longer be used, this option is not necessary.

11) When evaluating a patient whose primary complaint is amenorrhea, the nurse must be aware that lack of menstruation is most often the result of: a. Stress b. Pregnancy c. Excessive exercise d. Eating disorders

"The IUD will protect you from sexually transmitted diseases." d. "Pregnancy rates are high with the IUDs."

i. ANS: B ii. Disadvantages of IUDs include an increased risk of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) in the first 20 days after insertion, as well as the risks of bacterial vaginosis and uterine perforation. The IUD offers no protection against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Because this woman has multiple sex partners, she is at higher risk of developing an STD. The IUD does not protect against infection, as does a barrier method.

29) When instructing a client in the use of spermicidal foam or gel, it is important to include the information that: a. Effectiveness is about 85%. b. Douching should be avoided for at least 6 hours. c. It should be inserted 1 to 2 hours before intercourse. d. One application is effective for several hours.

i. ANS: B ii. Douching within 6 hours of intercourse would remove the spermicide and increase the risk of pregnancy. Effectiveness is only 29% when used alone. The spermicidal foam or gel should be inserted 15 minutes before intercourse. One application is effective for about 1 hour.

5) The nurse learns that the most common cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia is which of the following a. Hepatic disease b. Hemolytic disorders in the newborn c. Postmaturity d. Congenital heart defect

i. ANS: B ii. Hemolytic disorders in the newborn are the most common cause of pathologic jaundice. Hepatic damage and prematurity may be causes of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia, but they are not the most common cause. Congenital heart defect is not a common cause of pathologic hyperbilirubinemia in neonates.

21) Decreased surfactant production in the preterm lung is a problem because surfactant: a. Causes increased permeability of the alveoli. b. Provides transportation for oxygen to enter the blood supply. c. Keeps the alveoli open during expiration. d. Dilates the bronchioles, decreasing airway resistance.

i. ANS: C ii. Surfactant prevents the alveoli from collapsing each time the infant exhales, thus reducing the work of breathing.

28) Which contraceptive method should be contraindicated in a client with a history of toxic shock syndrome a. Condom b. Spermicide c. Cervical cap d. Oral contraceptives

i. ANS: C ii. The cervical cap may increase the risk of toxic shock syndrome because it may be left in the vagina for a prolonged period. A condom is not contraindicated with a history of toxic shock syndrome. Spermicide is not contraindicated with a history of toxic shock syndrome. Oral contraceptives are not contraindicated with a history of toxic shock syndrome.

47) A 25-year-old woman has a family history of breast cancer. The nurse reviews the procedure for breast self-examination (BSE) and tells her that the best time for a woman to perform a breast self-examination is: a. A few days before her period. b. During her menstrual period. c. On the last day of menstrual flow. d. One week after the beginning of her period.

Have a history of thrombotic problems or breast cancer. c. Have difficulty remembering to take oral contraceptives daily. d. Are homeless or mobile and rarely receive health care.

i. Advantages of DMPA include a contraceptive effectiveness comparable to that of combined oral contraceptives with the requirement of only four injections a year. Disadvantages of injectable progestins are menstrual irregularities. Use of injectable progestin carries an increased risk of venous thrombosis and thromboembolism. To be effective, DMPA injections must be administered every 11 to 13 weeks. Access to health care is necessary to prevent pregnancy or potential complications.

43) Nurses, certified nurse-midwives, and other advanced practice nurses have the knowledge and expertise to assist women in making informed choices regarding contraception. A multidisciplinary approach should ensure that the woman's social, cultural, and interpersonal needs are met. Which action should the nurse take first when meeting with a new client to discuss contraception a. Obtain data about the frequency of coitus. b. Determine the woman's level of knowledge about contraception and commitment to any particular method. c. Assess the woman's willingness to touch her genitals and cervical mucus. d. Evaluate the woman's contraceptive life plan.

i. All of these actions are part of the assessment, but determination of the woman's level of knowledge regarding contraception and her commitment to a method is the primary step and is necessary before completing the process and moving on to a nursing diagnosis. Once the client's level of knowledge is determined, the nurse can interact with her to compare options, reliability, cost, comfort level, protection from sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and a partner's willingness to participate. Data about frequency of coitus should include the number of sexual partners, level of partner contraceptive involvement, and any partner objections. A woman's willingness to touch her genitals and cervical mucus is a key factor for the nurse to discuss only if the client expresses interest in using one of the fertility awareness methods of contraception.

38) Which client in the gynecology clinic should the nurse see first a. 22-year-old with fever, hypotensive, using tampons b. 15-year-old, no menses for past 4 months c. 18-year-old seeking information on contraception methods d. 31-year-old, reports increasing dyspareunia

"My PID was caused by a yeast infection." e. "I am going to have an IUD placed for contraception.

i. Answer: 1, 2, 3 ii. Explanation: iii. 1. Women sometimes become infertile because of scarring in the fallopian tubes as a result of the inflammation of PID. iv. 2. Antibiotic therapy should always be completed when a client is diagnosed with any infection. v. 3. The tubal scarring that occurs from tubal inflammation during PID can prevent a fertilized ovum from passing through the tube into the uterus, causing an ectopic or tubal pregnancy.

31) A client has decided to use the NuvaRing vaginal contraceptive ring as her method of contraception. Which statement suggests the client needs further instruction a. "When I store my replacement rings, I should keep them in my refrigerator." b. "The contraceptive ring provides a sustained release of low-dose contraceptive." c.

"Take your temperature every evening at the same time and keep a record for a period of several weeks. A noticeable drop in temperature indicates that ovulation has occurred." b. "Take your temperature every day at the same time and keep a record of the findings. A noticeable rise in temperature indicates ovulation." c. "Take your temperature each day, immediately upon awakening, and keep a record of each finding. A noticeable rise in temperature indicates that ovulation is about to occur." d. "This is an unscientific and unproven method of determining ovulation, and is not recognized as a means of birth control."

i. Answer: C ii. C) The basal body temperature method is used to detect ovulation by an increase in the basal temperature during the menstrual cycle. It requires that the woman take her temperature every morning upon awakening (before any activity) and record the findings on a temperature graph, and is based on the fact that the temperature almost always rises and remains elevated after ovulation because of the production of progesterone, a thermogenic (heat-producing) hormone.

62) The nurse instructing a man considering a vasectomy should state that after a vasectomy: a. Intercourse should be delayed for 6 weeks. b. Sperm will still be ejaculated for a month. c. Erections will be difficult to maintain. d. Monthly sperm counts for a year will be necessary.

i. Because sperm are distal to the severed vas deferens, sperm will be in the ejaculate for about a month. A sperm count after that period of time should be performed to confirm the absence of sperm. Intercourse does not have to be delayed, but an alternate method of contraception should be used. Erections and sexual pleasure are not affected by a vasectomy.

18) What should the nurse stress in teaching a woman to deal with the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) a. Decrease her consumption of caffeine. b. Drink a small glass of wine with her evening meal. c. Decrease her fluid intake to prevent fluid retention. d. Eat three large meals a day to maintain glucose levels.

10) Which woman is at the greatest risk for psychological complications after hysterectomy a. 37-year-old who gave birth to her third child and required a third cesarean section with a hysterectomy due to an increta b. 46-year-old woman who has had three children and has just been promoted at work c. 25-year-old woman who had a ruptured uterus after giving birth to her first child d. 55-year-old woman who has been having abnormal bleeding and pain for 3 years

i. The 25-year-old woman is still in her childbearing years. Often the uterus is related to self-concept in women in this age group, and they may feel that sexual functioning is related to having a uterus. The 55-year-old woman is past her childbearing years and has had bleeding and pain for 3 years. The hysterectomy may be well received as a method of pain relief. The 46-year-old woman has a family and positive events occurring in her life (job promotion). The 37 year old woman has three children.

45) A woman currently uses a diaphragm and spermicide for contraception. She asks the nurse what the major differences are between the cervical cap and diaphragm.

"Repeated intercourse with the diaphragm is more convenient." d. "The cervical cap can safely be used for repeated acts of intercourse without adding more spermicide later."

i. The cervical cap can be inserted hours before sexual intercourse without the need for additional spermicide later. No additional spermicide is required for repeated acts of intercourse. Spermicide should be used inside the cap as an additional chemical barrier. The cervical cap should remain in place for 6 hours after the last act of intercourse. Repeated intercourse with the cervical cap is more convenient, because no additional spermicide is needed.

i. The infant should be observed for urination after the circumcision. Bleeding is a common complication after circumcision. The nurse will check the penis for 12 hours after a circumcision to assess and provide appropriate interventions for prevention and treatment of bleeding. Yellow exudates cover the glans penis in 24 hours after the circumcision. This is part of normal healing and not an infective process. The PlastiBell remains in place for about a week and falls off when healing has taken place.
