Which contraceptive method can be used by a client with mild controlled hypertension?
a. Combined oral con-traceptives c. Patch
b. Vaginal ring d. IUD
D
Rather than a chemical/drug contraceptive, the IUD is a mechanical contraceptive, so it would not aggravate hypertension unless a complication occurred. COCs can aggravate hypertension. Because the vaginal ring contains doses similar to COCs, hypertension can be aggravated with its use. The patch contains similar doses to the COCs, so hypertension can be aggravated with its use.
