A nurse is caring for a patient who uses a contraceptive vaginal ring.

Which of the following symptoms should the nurse instruct the patient to report immediately?

The correct answer is choice B. It creates a local inflammatory response that impairs implantation.This means that the IUD makes the lining of the uterus less suitable for a fertilized egg to attach to it.

Choice A is wrong because it describes how hormonal IUDs work, not copper IUDs.Hormonal IUDs release hormones that thicken cervical mucus and prevent ovulation.

Choice C is wrong because it describes how tubal ligation works, not IUDs.Tubal ligation is a surgical procedure that blocks or cuts the fallopian tubes, which prevents sperm from reaching an egg.

Choice D is wrong because it implies that all of the above choices are correct, which they are not.

Only choice B is correct for copper IUDs.

The correct answer is choice B.History of uterine prolapse is a contraindication for the use of a diaphragm as a contraceptive method.Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus descends into the vagina, which can interfere with the proper placement and seal of the diaphragm.

Choice A is wrong because history of cervical cancer is not a contraindication for diaphragm use.

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor of the cervix, which can be treated with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy.

Diaphragm use does not affect the risk or treatment of cervical cancer.

Choice C is wrong because history of ovarian cysts is not a contraindication for diaphragm use.

Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that develop in or on the ovaries, which can cause pain, bloating, or irregular periods.

Diaphragm use does not affect the formation or rupture of ovarian cysts.

Choice D is wrong because history of menopause is not a contraindication for diaphragm use.

Menopause is the natural cessation of menstrual cycles and fertility, which occurs around age 50 in most women.

Diaphragm use does not affect the hormonal changes or symptoms of menopause.
