Answer to Question 1

3
1. Incorrect. If contraceptives are to be started at any time other than during normal menses, or within 3 weeks after birth or abortion, another method contraception should be used through the first week to avoid the risk of pregnancy. Taken exactly as directed, oral contra-ceptive prevent ovulation, and pregnancy cannot occur.
2. Incorrect. No strong pharmacokinetic evidence exists that shows a relationship between broad-spectrum antibiotic use and altered hormonal levels among oral contraceptive users.
3. Correct. To maintain adequate hormonal levels for contraception and enhance com-pliance, oral contraceptives should be taken at the same time each day.
4. Incorrect. If the patient misses two pills during week 1, she would take two pills a day for 2 days and finish the package and used backup method the next 7 consecutive days.

Answer to Question 2

1
1. Correct. The most common technique for medical termination in the second trimester is dilation and evacuation.
