Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
If only one pill is missed, it can be taken as soon as the woman remembers, even as late as the next day. If more than one is missed, however, effectiveness may be impaired, and other contraceptive measures may be necessary.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
A history of thrombophlebitis contraindicates the use of oral contraceptives. Past smoking, cause of parental deaths, and asthma are not contraindications.
