1. The client has a history of blood clots.
2. The client exercises three times a week.
3. The client takes aspirin 81 mg every day.
4. The client has a history of scarlet fever.

Rationale 2: Exercise is not contraindicated in the use of this contraceptive method.
Rationale 3: Aspirin is not contraindicated with the use of this contraceptive method.
Rationale 4: A history of scarlet fever does not contraindicate the use of a hormonal method of contraception.
Global Rationale: The transdermal delivery method uses estrogen and progestin for contraception. These drugs increase the chances of blood clots, so a person with a history of blood clots should not use this medication. Exercise and the use of aspirin are not contraindicated in the use of this contraceptive method. A history of scarlet fever does not contraindicate the use of a hormonal method of contraception.
