Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Estrogens block pituitary release of FSH, preventing the ovaries from developing a follicle from which the ovum is released. Progestins inhibit pituitary release of LH, the hormone responsible for releasing an ovum from a follicle. Estrogens and progestins alter cervical mucus by making it thick and viscous, inhibiting sperm migration. Hormones also change the endometrial wall, impairing implantation of the fertilized ovum.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Patches should not be cut. The first patch should be applied during the first 24 hours of the menstrual period. A backup contraceptive should be used concurrently for the first 7 days of the first cycle. When removing the patch, it should be folded over on itself and placed in a sturdy container.
