A college-aged woman has been taking oral contraceptives for the past year. She visits the student health center with a strep throat and is placed on ampicillin. The nurse should instruct her to:
 
  1. double the dose of ampicillin because the pill can decrease the blood level of the antibiotic.
  2. use a backup method of birth control for this cycle because the antibiotic can decrease the pill's effectiveness.
  3. stop the birth control pill because using both medications simultaneously can incite an allergic reaction.
  4. use a vaginal lubricant while taking the antibiotic because the interaction increases dryness.

Question 2

A 25-year-old patient is planning to start oral contraceptives. When she asks about increasing her cancer risk, the nurse should inform her that oral contraceptives:
 
  1. increase the risk of ovarian cancer.
  2. increase the risk of endometrial cancer.
  3. decrease the risk of breast cancer.
  4. do not increase the risk of breast cancer.
