Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The client is attempting to stop smoking because smoking increases the risk of thromboembolic events.
Rationale 2: Missing the pill twice last month decreases the effectiveness of the contraceptive. The lack of a regular period could indicate pregnancy. The client needs a pregnancy test immediately, because oral contraceptives are pregnancy category X.
Rationale 3: The client is decreasing caffeine intake, which is recommended.
Rationale 4: The last seven pills are placebos and do not need to be taken if the client is able to remember when to start a new pack of pills.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Carboprost is a prostaglandin that can be used to induce uterine contractions that can expel an implanted embryo and result in abortion up to the second trimester.
Rationale 2: Mifepristone is an abortifacient and is used to induce abortions in pregnancies of less than 9 weeks' gestation.
Rationale 3: Misoprostol is given with mifepristone for early abortions, or alone to induce uterine contractions in a second-trimester abortion.
Rationale 4: Levonorgestrel (Plan B) is intended for emergency contraception, and will not cause termination of a pregnancy that is already in place.
