Answer to Question 1

C
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of thrombophlebitis associated with COC. Nonvascular headaches, a history of STDs, and multiple sexual partners are not contraindications for the use of COC.

Answer to Question 2

D
Taking the pill at the same time every day increases its contraceptive success rate. There are three basic types of COCs; the dosages vary according to the prescriber and the client's needs. The pill should be started on the Sunday after the first day of the woman's menses. If more than one pill is missed, the woman should use a backup contraceptive plan with the pill for the next 7 days.
