Simulated
A client has obtained Plan B (levonorgestrel 0.75 mg, 2 tablets) as emergency contraception. After unprotected intercourse, the client calls the clinic to ask questions about taking the contraceptives. The nurse realizes the client needs further explanation when she makes which of the following responses?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Plan B is most effective when taken within 72 hours of unprotected intercourse, ideally as soon as possible. Waiting 3 to 4 days reduces its efficacy, indicating a need for further explanation.
