Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The subdermal hormone implant can be placed 6 weeks after the birth of a baby. One month is too soon for the implant to be placed after the birth of a baby. Typically, the rod is inserted during menses or no later than day 7 of a menstrual cycle to be certain that the patient is not pregnant at the time of insertion. The implant will not be placed immediately after the delivery of a baby.

Answer to Question 2

D
Adolescents often do not tolerate pain well. Breathing and concentration techniques require patience that many teens lack, so breathing and relaxation instructions must be simple and easy to follow. The nurse must also carefully explain to the adolescent and her support person what is being done and what can be expected during the labor and birth.
