ATI NCLEX-PN Practice Questions Practice Question

The nurse is teaching a 28-year-old client who was recently prescribed birth control pills. Which statement by the client indicates teaching has been effective?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Option A demonstrates understanding that certain antibiotics can reduce the effectiveness of birth control pills, necessitating the use of an additional contraceptive method during that time.

Option B is incorrect because missing a pill should be addressed immediately, not at the end of the prescription, to maintain contraceptive efficacy.

Option C is misleading; while the contraceptive patch may have different side effects, it is not universally true that it has fewer side effects than pills, as individual responses vary.

Option D is inaccurate; if the contraceptive ring comes out, it can often be reinserted within a specific time frame without needing a new one, provided the guidelines are followed.
