Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A diaphragm must be left in place for at least 6 hours after intercourse to prevent sperm from reaching the uterus. This ensures effective contraception.

Choice B rationale

Depo-Provera is a long-acting contraceptive injection, and fertility can return within a few months after stopping, but it may take up to 9-10 months for some women to regain their regular menstrual cycles and fertility.

Choice C rationale

The Ortho Evra patch is a hormonal contraceptive that is applied weekly, not monthly. It needs to be replaced once a week for three weeks, followed by a patch-free week.

Choice D rationale

Male and female condoms should not be used together because they can create friction and cause either or both condoms to break or slip, reducing their effectiveness as contraceptives and increasing the risk of sexually transmitted infections.

Correct Answer is ["0.8"]

Explanation

Step 1 is 0.2 mg × 4 doses = 0.8 mg

The total amount the patient will receive in a 24-hour period is 0.8 mg.
