Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Patients who smoke or who have an increased risk of VTE may be candidates for progestin-only products. A 35-year-old woman may still want children in the future, so recommending a tubal ligation is not indicated. Transdermal products contain estrogen and carry the same risks as COCs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Women should receive Depo-Provera injections every 13 weeks. Patients who are late for injections (13 weeks plus 1 day) will need to rule out pregnancy before receiving the next injection. Patients who are eligible receive 150 mg IM. It is not correct to give a higher dose.
