A client is prescribed ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone (Yasmin) to prevent pregnancy. The client missed three days of her medication. What is an appropriate client education for this client?
Correct answer
B,C
Rationale
The correct answer is B and C. Missing three days of ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone can decrease contraceptive efficacy. Option B recommends using an alternative form of contraception for 7 days to ensure continued protection. Option C suggests taking two doses the next two days to compensate for missed doses and using additional contraception for 7 days. Option A is incorrect because taking one dose is insufficient. Option D is incorrect as simply continuing the medication may not provide adequate protection. Options E, F, and G are not valid choices. In summary, options B and C provide the best approach to address missed doses and maintain contraceptive effectiveness.
