The client experiencing anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding is concerned about maintaining her fertility. The nurse realizes that which of the following interventions will most likely be used first to help this client?
1. Oral contraceptives
2. Progestin therapy
3. Therapeutic D and C

1. Oral contraceptives
Rationale:
Oral contraceptives can be used to regulate uterine bleeding in women when the bleeding is anovulatory. Progestin therapy can be used to treat ovulatory uterine bleeding. The therapeutic D and C would not be an initial therapy for condition. Endometrial ablation would destroy the client's fertility.
