Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Yasmin contains drospirenone, which is derived from spironolactone. Drospirenone can alter water and electrolyte balances in women, and women taking this product should avoid NSAIDs to avoid compounding this effect. The provider may want to consider another COC product. It does not alter fertility.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Pregnant women should not receive MMR vaccine because it is a live virus and there is risk to the fetus. Her children should be vaccinated so they do not contract rubella and pass it to her.
