Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2
Rationale 1: Progestin injections are administered every 3 months, eliminating the need to take medication every day.
Rationale 2: Intrauterine devices are not visible to others, and medication does not need to be taken every day.
Rationale 3: A transdermal patch would be visible to others.
Rationale 4: Combination oral contraceptives have to be taken every day to be effective.
Rationale 5: Progestin-only oral contraceptives have to be taken every day to be effective.
Global Rationale: Progestin injections are administered every 3 months, eliminating the need to take medication every day. Intrauterine devices are not visible to others, and medication does not need to be taken every day. A transdermal patch would be visible to others. Combination oral contraceptives have to be taken every day to be effective. Progestin-only oral contraceptives have to be taken every day to be effective.

Answer to Question 2
