A client who has received a new prescription for oral contraceptives asks the nurse how to take them. Which of the following would the nurse instruct the client to report to her primary caregiver
A.Breast tenderness.
B.Breakthrough bleeding within first 3 months of use.
C.Decreased menstrual flow.
D.Blurred vision and headache.
参考答案:D
解析:Some adverse effects of birth control pills, such as blurred vision and headaches, require a report to the health care provider. Because these two effects in particular may be precursors to cardiovascular compromise and embolus, the client may need to use another form of birth control. Breast tenderness, breakthrough bleeding, and decreased menstrual flow may occur as a normal response to the use of birth control pills.
