Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Contraceptive effectiveness varies from couple to couple, depending on how well a contraceptive method is used and how well it suits the couple. The contraceptive failure rate measures the likelihood of accidental pregnancy in the first year only. Failure rates decline over time because users gain experience.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The standard days variation on the calendar method has a failure rate of 12. The periodic abstinence method has a failure rate of 25 or greater. The postovulation method has a failure rate of 25 or greater. The coitus interruptus method has a failure rate of 27 or greater.
