Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
Levonorgestrel, depending on where in the menstrual cycle the woman is when she takes it, can prevent ovulation, interfere with fertilization, and prevent uterine implantation. It does not im-mediately induce menses or alter ova DNA.

Answer to Question 2

B
The liquid form of this drug will stain the teeth. The patient should use a straw and rise the mouth after taking this medication. The drug causes drowsiness and should be given at night. Hematuria is not a concern.
