Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The goal of contraceptive counseling is to ensure that women have appropriate instruction to make informed choices about reproduction. The nurse should provide a nonjudgmental approach during counseling and allow the woman to choose the appropriate contraceptive method. Nurses do advocate for reproductive services for women, but that is not a goal of contraceptive counsel-ing. Reduction in the health risks of the individual is a goal of preconceptual counseling.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Improvements have been made in some areas of health disparities among various populations. However, health disparities vary among each racial/ethnic group. African American women have much higher death rates from breast cancer, not necessarily a higher incidence. The awareness of health disparities remains low among the general public. These health disparities are typically not the result of negligent health care practices.
