Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The IUD is most appropriate as a safe and effective contraceptive for the population of women who are in a mutually monogamous, stable relationship and who are not at high risk for infection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Healthy, nonsmoking women can continue to use oral contraceptives without increased risk of cardiovascular disease until the age of 50 years. Oral contraceptives should not be used by women who smoke after age 35, owing to marked increase in risk for cardiovascular disease.
