A nurse is caring for a postpartum client who arrives at the clinic for her follow-up appointment 4 weeks after delivery.
The client is asking about birth control options. What contraception option would you recommend as being the most reliable?
A male condom.
Vaginal ring.
Hormonal implant.
An oral contraceptive.
An oral contraceptive.
The Correct Answer is C
Choice A rationale
Male condoms are effective in preventing pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections, but their reliability can be compromised by improper use or breakage.
Choice B rationale
Vaginal rings provide hormonal contraception and are effective, but they may be less reliable compared to implants due to potential for incorrect use.
Choice C rationale
Hormonal implants are highly reliable because they provide continuous contraception over an extended period (up to 3-5 years) with minimal user intervention.
Choice D rationale
Oral contraceptives are effective when taken correctly, but their reliability can be reduced by missed doses or incorrect use.

muscle tone and increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage.
Choice B rationale
Thrombophlebitis is an inflammation of a vein with clot formation, but it is not directly associated with polyhydramnios.
Choice C rationale
Postpartum preeclampsia is high blood pressure and signs of organ damage after delivery, but there is no direct link between polyhydramnios and this condition.
Choice D rationale
Retained placental fragments can lead to postpartum hemorrhage but are not specifically associated with polyhydramnios.
