Answer to Question 1

C
Once the mature woman decides to conceive, a delay in becoming pregnant may occur be-cause of the normal aging of the ovaries.
The older adult participates in fewer risk behaviors than the younger adult.
The problem is the age of the ovaries, not the past use of contraceptives.
Prepregnancy medical care is available and encouraged.

Answer to Question 2

D
The diaphragm is made to fit snugly in the vaginal area and contains a hard rim that may put pressure on the urethra. The cervical cap is smaller and fits around the cervix.
