Which of the following are hormonal methods of contraception? (Select all that apply)

Choice A rationale
Smoking has been associated with an increased risk of developing endometriosis. It is thought that certain substances found in tobacco smoke may have a role in the development or progression of endometriosis14.
Choice B rationale
Regular exercise has been associated with a decreased risk of endometriosis. Physical activity may influence the body’s production of estrogen, a hormone that is thought to play a role in endometriosis14.
Choice C rationale
A higher body mass index (BMI) has been associated with a decreased risk of endometriosis. It is thought that body fat may influence the levels of hormones such as estrogen in the body14.
Choice D rationale
Age is a risk factor for endometriosis, with the condition being more common in women in their 30s and 40s. However, endometriosis can occur in any woman who has menstrual periods14.

Choice A rationale
Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, is not typically associated with poor feeding and low temperature in infants. It’s more commonly seen in conditions like diabetes.
Choice B rationale
Neonatal infection could cause an infant to feed poorly and have a low temperature. These symptoms could be a sign of sepsis, a serious and potentially life-threatening infection that requires immediate medical attention.
Choice C rationale
Hemolytic anemia, a condition where red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be made, is not typically associated with poor feeding and low temperature in infants.
Choice D rationale
Prematurity could potentially cause poor feeding and low temperature, but these symptoms would not typically appear suddenly in a well-baby nursery setting.
