Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Because this is an invasive, permanent procedure, the nurse must obtain fully informed consent from the woman. Partner consent is not legally required. Pre-approval may or may not be required, but the priority is the patient's informed consent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The injection site should not be massaged, as this action can decrease the effectiveness of the medication. The other actions are correct.
