Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Mircette provides 2 inert pills and 5 pills with 10 mcg of ethinyl estradiol during the counter phase, which helps to decrease withdrawal bleeding and headaches. Loestrin counters withdrawal bleeding but does not help with headaches.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
If the NuvaRing slips out, it should be rinsed off and reinserted. If it has been out longer than 3 hours, the woman should be counseled to use a backup method of contraception.
