[All OMSB_OEN Questions]

A woman attends the health center with complaints of sudden, severe and sharp pain in the lower abdomen and an absence of menses for 8 weeks. The ultrasound reveals ectopic pregnancy.

When interviewing the woman, which of the following will the nurse ask about as risk factor of ectopic pregnancy?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

A history of chlamydial infection is a significant risk factor for ectopic pregnancy. Chlamydia can cause scarring and damage to the fallopian tubes, increasing the likelihood of a fertilized egg implanting outside the uterus. Oral contraceptive usage generally reduces the risk of ectopic pregnancy. The frequency of sexual activity and history of urinary tract infections are not directly related to the risk of ectopic pregnancy. Identifying and understanding these risk factors is essential for appropriate management and prevention strategies.

Hmm, I'd say A. Oral contraceptive usage can sometimes lead to ectopic pregnancies, even though they're supposed to prevent it. Murphy's law, am I right?

I'm going with B. The frequency of sexual activity can affect the likelihood of contracting an STI, which is a risk factor.

I think the nurse will definitely ask about both chlamydial infection and oral contraceptive usage.
