Question: A young woman has been using oral contraceptives and misses her regular menstrual period. She visits the women's health clinic and tells the nurse that she may be pregnant because she missed taking her contraceptive pills for 1 week when she had the flu. Which response would be given by the nurse? "It's too late to worry about that now. You may want to consider having an abortion." O "Contraceptive pills are unpredictable. You probably would've become pregnant even if you had taken them regularly." "You may be right. One of the reasons that an exact schedule is prescribed for birth control pills is that they have to be taken regularly to be effective." "That's the trouble with birth control pills. They're so effective that women tend to believe that they won't get pregnant even if they skip pills for a few days." Confident Not Sure Q Search. Looking for Online Tutoring?
