Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
When using the vaginal ring, the client should insert the ring and keep it in place for 3 weeks and then remove it on the same day of the week it was inserted. The ring can be expelled accidentally, such as with straining on defecation or removing a tampon. Typically, bleeding occurs once the ring is removed. The ring should be discarded after each use.
