MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which contraceptive method provides protection against sexually transmitted diseases?
a. Oral contraceptives
b. Tubal ligation
c. Male or female condoms
d. Intrauterine device (IUD)
ANS: C
Because latex condoms provide the best protection available, they should be used during
any potential exposure to a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Only the barrier methods
provide some protection from STDs. A tubal ligation is considered a permanent
contraceptive method; however, does not offer any protection against sexually transmitted
diseases. IUDs are inserted into the uterus and provide no protection from STDs.

2. A nurse is leading a discussion regarding options for birth control. Which of the following
methods is considered the most reliable?
a. Coitus interruptus
b. Breastfeeding NURSINGTB.COM
c. Natural family planning
d. Intrauterine device
ANS: D
IUDs are 99% effective. Although coitus interruptus is considered 78% effective, it requires
great control by the man and may be unsatisfying for both partners. Women who
exclusively breast feed (without formula or solid food supplementation) may avoid
ovulation. Another method of birth control should be used when the frequency of
breastfeeding decreases. At 6 months postpartum ovulation commences in most women,
even if exclusively breastfeeding. Couples must be highly motivated to use natural family
planning because they must abstain from sex for as much as half of the menstrual cycle.
Errors in the forbidden time carry a very high risk of pregnancy.

a. 39-year-old with a history of thrombophlebitis.
b. 16-year-old with a benign liver tumor.
c. 20-year-old who suspects she may be pregnant.
d. 43-year-old who does not smoke cigarettes.
