Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Terrie, being a smoker, faces increased risks when using hormonal birth control, including a higher risk of cardiovascular issues. Therefore, any hormonal contraceptive method should be used under close medical supervision to monitor for potential adverse effects. Options like the constant-dose combination pill or the contraceptive patch, which are hormonal, are not outright contraindicated but do require careful consideration of the risks, especially in smokers over the age of 35. The statement that Terrie cannot use any form of IUD is incorrect, as IUDs (both hormonal and non-hormonal) can be suitable for smokers, depending on individual health factors and preferences.
