During a care conference, a nurse shares the latest research on improving breastfeeding success for first-time mothers.
Which Quality and Safety Education for Nurses competency does this action support?

Choice A rationale

Tubal ligation does not decrease menstrual flow. It is a surgical procedure that blocks or seals the fallopian tubes, preventing eggs from reaching the uterus for implantation.

Choice B rationale

Tubal ligation does not reduce menstrual pain. It prevents pregnancy but does not have an effect on the menstrual cycle or associated symptoms.

Choice C rationale

The timing of the procedure in relation to the menstrual cycle is not a significant factor in tubal ligation. The procedure can be performed at any time as long as pregnancy is not present.

Choice D rationale

It is crucial to emphasize that tubal ligation is considered a permanent form of birth control. While reversal procedures exist, they are not always successful and should not be relied upon. Therefore, the decision to undergo tubal ligation should be made with the understanding that it is typically irreversible.

The correct answer is B. Anticonvulsants. Anticonvulsants can interfere with the effectiveness of a combined oral contraceptive (COC)10111213. These medications can increase the metabolism of COCs, thereby reducing their effectiveness and potentially leading to contraceptive failure.
