Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The insertion of an IUD is done in a health care provider's office. An ectopic pregnancy can occur as a possible complication of the IUD. An IUD does not offer protection against STDs. A decrease in dysmenorrhea would be an advantage of using an IUD.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A client who has a history of endometriosis may gain additional benefit from using an oral contraceptive as her birth control method because hormone levels will be more uniformly regulated with this type of treatment. The withdrawal method and Depo-Provera will not provide any additional benefit relative to a history of endometriosis. An IUD may cause further irritation to the endometrial lining so it would not be a prudent choice.
