Answer to Question 1

D
Advancing age and a positive family history are the only two known risk factors. Female gender is not a known risk; the increased incidence among females may be the result of women living longer than men. No definitive genetic tests are available. The presence of apoE2 seems to be protective.

Answer to Question 2

A
When patients who have been using a progestin-only OC begin using a vaginal ring, they should be instructed to insert the ring on the last day of the pill and use backup contraception for 7 days.
