Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale 1: The insertion of Essure creates a tissue response that results in tubal occlusion in about 3 months.
Rationale 2: Vasectomy requires several ejaculations to clear the remaining sperm from the vas deferens before sterility occurs.
Rationale 3: Tubal ligation can be performed at any age.
Rationale 4: Oral contraceptives are effective, but the patient desires a permanent method.

Answer to Question 2

2,3,4
Rationale 1: A kosher diet is appropriate for Jewish women, not Muslims. Although many of the dietary laws are similar, kosher laws are not appropriate for a Muslim patient.
Rationale 2: In Muslim cultures, childrearing and infant care are handled largely by the mother and female relatives, and the father might be only minimally involved.
Rationale 3: Modesty is very important to Muslims. The patient should be draped with the bed covers during the postpartum assessment.
Rationale 4: In Muslim cultures, childrearing and infant care are handled largely by the mother and female relatives, and the father might be only minimally involved.
Rationale 5: Because of modesty and the restrictions against touching and being touched by males who are not the spouse, most Muslim women highly prefer female care providers.
