Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Spermicides that contain nonoxynol-9 have been linked to the increased transmission of HIV. Spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 have not been linked to HPV infections, spontaneous abortions, or endometrial cancer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
When a patient taking a progestin-only OC misses one or more pills, backup contraception should always be used for at least 2 days. Irregular bleeding occurs but is not an indication to stop using the drug, although many women do because of the inconvenience. The mini-pill is slightly safer than combination OCs but not as effective. The mini-pill is a weak inhibitor of ovulation.
