Correct A woman is unlikely to become pregnant after tubal ligation. Sterilization offers no protection against STIs.
Incor-rect Tubal ligation is not 100% effective. It does not offer any protection against STIs. Typically the menstrual cycle remains the same after a tubal ligation.

A nurse remarks, "We have a list of nursing diagnoses for identifying client problems, and we have a nursing outcomes classification, so how will having a nursing interventions classification (NIC) be helpful?" The best answer would be:
1. "Nursing is seeking true professional status. We need clear rules we can all fol-low." 2. "NIC will identify a body of nursing actions and the rules and principles for their use." 3. "We need to know why we do things. NIC will provide us with the rationales for proposed nursing interventions." 4. "NIC will prevent use of intuition and foster scientific reasoning in the selection of interventions."
