Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
On average, ovulation begins within 10 months of discontinuing this medication, so women who are planning a pregnancy within the next year should probably use a different method of contraception. The other statements are correct. Due to possible decrease in bone density, weight-bearing exercise and calcium supplementation are important. Exercise will offset the possible weight gain also associated with this medication. Depo-Provera usually causes light or absent menstrual periods.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If the vaginal ring comes out, it can be washed with lukewarm water and reinserted. If it is out of the vagina for more than 3 hours, the woman will need a back-up method of contraception for the next 7 days. Her incorrect statement indicates she needs more teaching. The other statements about the vaginal contraceptive ring are correct.
