B

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
If pregnancy does occur, estrogens are contraindicated because their use during pregnancy has been associated with the occurrence of vaginal cancer in female offspring. The pill will affect the pregnancy and should be discontinued. The pill will not cause miscarriage. The pill can cause harmful effects on male offspring if it is continued through pregnancy.
