With regard to the noncontraceptive medical effects of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCs), nurses should be aware that:
 
  a. COCs can cause toxic shock syndrome if the prescription is wrong.
  b. Hormonal withdrawal bleeding usually is a bit more profuse than in normal men-struation and lasts a week.
  c. COCs increase the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer.
  d. The effectiveness of COCs can be altered by some over-the-counter medications and herbal supplements.

Question 2

A woman gave birth to her first pregnancy, a fetus at 18 weeks' gestation, last week. She is in the clinic for follow-up, and notices that her chart states she has had 1 abortion. The client is upset over the use of this word.
 
  How can the nurse best explain this terminology to the client? 1. Abortion is the medical term for all pregnancies that end before 20 weeks.
  2. Abortion is the word we use when someone has miscarried.
  3. Abortion is how we label babies born in the second trimester.
  4. Abortion is what we call all babies who are born dead.
