A woman comes to a public health clinic to learn about a fertility awareness method of contraception. Information that will help her make her decision includes that:
a. These methods rely on abstinence during fertile periods.
b. The calendar method is least affected by stress or illness.
c. The cervical mucus method is the easiest of these methods to learn.
d. The basal body temperature method requires the woman to take her temperature every night at bedtime.
ANS: A
All of these methods use different approaches in an effort to determine when the woman is most fertile so that sexual intercourse can be avoided during that time. The calendar and basal body temperature (BBT) methods are affected by stress and illness. BBT requires taking the temperature every morning before arising. The cervical mucus method requires learning to recognize mucus characteristics at various stages of the menstrual cycle.
