Here are some possible ATI nursing school MCQ questions with a long stem of at least 15 words, from the text you provided:.

A nurse is caring for a client who has a copper IUD for contraception.

The nurse should instruct the client to report which of the following signs of a possible complication?

The correct answer is choice C. The patient needs further teaching if they think that the implant can be inserted immediately after childbirth.According to Mayo Clinic, the implant should not be inserted until at least 21 days after giving birth, or until the milk supply is well established if breastfeeding.

Inserting the implant too soon may increase the risk of blood clots or decrease milk production.

Choice A is correct because condoms are still needed to protect against STIs, even if using the implant as a birth control method.Choice B is correct because irregular and unpredictable menstruation is a common side effect of the implant.Choice D is correct because the implant can prevent pregnancy for up to three years.

The correct answer is choice A. Perform a pregnancy test.An IUD is a form of birth control that is inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy, but it is not 100% effective.If a client with an IUD misses a menstrual period, the first action the nurse should take is to rule out pregnancy by performing a pregnancy test.This is because pregnancy with an IUD can have serious complications, such as ectopic pregnancy, infection, miscarriage or preterm labor.

Choice B is wrong because palpating for uterine enlargement is not a reliable way to diagnose pregnancy, especially in the early stages.It can also cause discomfort or bleeding for the client.

Choice C is wrong because assessing for signs of ectopic pregnancy is not the first action the nurse should take.

Ectopic pregnancy is a possible complication of pregnancy with an IUD, but it is not very common.The nurse should first confirm if the client is pregnant before looking for signs of ectopic pregnancy, such as abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding or shoulder pain.

Choice D is wrong because instructing the client to remove the IUD is not appropriate or safe.

The client should not attempt to remove the IUD by themselves, as this can cause injury or infection.The nurse should refer the client to an OB-GYN if they are pregnant with an IUD or if they want to remove the IUD for any reason.
