Shana received her first medroxyprogesterone (Depo Provera) injection 6 weeks ago and calls the clinic with a concern that she has been having a light period off and on since receiving her Depo shot. What would be the management of Shana?
 
  1. Reassurance that some spotting is normal the first few months of Depo and it should improve.
  2. Schedule an appointment for an exam as this is not normal.
  3. Prescribe 4 weeks of estrogen to treat the abnormal vaginal bleeding.
  4. Order a pregnancy test and suggest she use a back-up method of contraception until she has her next shot.

Question 2

  1. The potential development of significant hypertension
  2. Increased risk of strokes
  3. Decreased bone density

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
