Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Oral contraceptives require the client to take a pill every day, so no touching of the perineum is required.
Rationale 2: The transdermal delivery method requires the client to place a patch on the shoulder, torso, or abdomen, and to change it every 7 days. It does not require touching the perineum.
Rationale 3: The depot injection method is given by a health care provider. The drug is injected intramuscularly or subcutaneously every 3 months, and requires no touching of the perineum.
Rationale 4: The intrauterine device is inserted into the vagina by a health care provider, but the client must check its position on a regular basis. This is done by reaching into the vagina and checking to make sure that the string is still in the proper place.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The nurse would not automatically disqualify this woman from the use of the depot injection method because of the family history of breast cancer, because the depot injection contains no estrogen, but a 30-year-old woman with no children has demonstrated the ability to use birth control.
Rationale 2: The depot injection would not be recommended for a client with menstrual irregularities, because the side effects include amenorrhea and irregular menstrual bleeding.
Rationale 3: The depot injection is often recommended for clients who have trouble remembering to take the birth control pill. A 27-year-old with one child has demonstrated the ability to use some form of birth control.
Rationale 4: The depot injection is often recommended for clients who have trouble remembering to take the birth control pill. In this case, a teenager who already has a child would be the best choice.
