Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A woman often seeks contraception with a predetermined method in mind, which may or may not be the best fit for her lifestyle. Nurses should be able to explain the entire range of choices and help the woman find the method that will work best for her. Once the method is chosen, it is important to know how to use it properly and what the potential side effects are; however, this is not directly correlated to a knowledge deficit related to choices. The woman should be willing and able to explain the method to her partner once one is chosen.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The probability of becoming pregnant with each act of unprotected intercourse is approximately 15-20.
