ANS: A, B
Women who wish to avoid a subsequent pregnancy should be counseled to use another form of birth control in the following situations: menstruation resumes, the frequency or duration of breastfeeding is reduced, bottle feeding or solid foods are introduced, and the baby reaches 6 months of age. Therefore, the mothers of the 5-month-old baby who has started solid food and the baby who is 8 months old should be advised to use another form of birth control. The mother of the 4-month-old who is exclusively breastfed can expect an effectiveness rate of approximately 98%. The nurse needs to assess the other two situations more carefully prior to determining if the mother needs another form of birth control.
