Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5
Explanation: 1. A backup method of contraception is needed for a period of time when beginning oral contraceptives.
2. Opposition to taking systemic medications is a reason to use barriers for contraception.
3. Using a barrier method of contraception is appropriate in the early postpartum period or when lactating.
5. Being perimenopausal and smoking make barrier contraception an appropriate choice.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3
Rationale 1: Cultural and religious beliefs, practices, and sanctions must be considered when discussing contraception with patients in order to avoid insulting a patient for whom a particular type of contraceptive method is prohibited by her background.
Rationale 2: Efficacy of contraceptive methods varies, and must be considered when discussing contraception with patients.
Rationale 3: If a patient desires children in the future, sterilization methods would be inappropriate to discuss. The nurse would only discuss temporary methods.
Rationale 4: Vegetarianism has no impact on contraceptive method use.
Rationale 5: Age at menarche has no impact on contraceptive method use.
