Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
All answers are correct; however, because this woman is obese, the nurse needs to tell her that women weighing over 198 lb should not use the patch. This is because of concerns that excessive adipose tissue may be associated with inconsistent levels of hormonal absorption.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Nexplanon is a subdermal contraceptive that must be removed and replaced every 3 years if continued contraception is desired. The single-rod implant, which is inserted on the inner side of the woman's upper arm, contains etonogestrel, which is a progestin.
