Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Breakthrough bleeding is not an expected adverse effect and should be reported to a health care provider immediately to consider alternatives in therapy. Nausea is an expected adverse effect of contraceptive therapy. Missed doses are common and do not require notification of the provider. Light menstrual flow is common with contraceptive therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Most gonadal hormones are prescribed to patients for prolonged self-administration. Therefore, planning should stress patient education specific to the type of gonadal hormone prescribed and its intended actions, including monitoring of adverse effects to expect and report. Cost, storage, and route of administration are lesser concerns. There are few, if any, interactions between gonadal hormones and food or other drugs. Follow-up appointments and lab studies are lesser concerns.
