Question

A client is taking progesterone oral contraceptives (minipills). The nurse instructs the client to take one pill daily during the:

A. Five days of the ovulatory cycle
B. Latter part of the ovulatory cycle
C. First week of the menstrual cycle
D. Entire time of the menstrual cycle

Answer 1

The client should take one pill daily during the entire time of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone oral contraceptives work by delivering a low dose of progesterone for the entire cycle.

Step-by-step explanation:

The client should take one pill daily during the entire time of the menstrual cycle. Progesterone oral contraceptives, also known as minipills, work by delivering a low dose of progesterone for the entire menstrual cycle. Taking the minipill consistently every day helps prevent pregnancy by inhibiting ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.
