[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.

I think frequency of sexual activity could also be a risk factor, as it can increase the chances of infection.

B) Frequency of sexual activity? I'm not sure how that's relevant to the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy. Maybe the nurse needs to brush up on their medical knowledge.

D) History of urinary tract infection? What does that have to do with an ectopic pregnancy? The nurse should be asking about the woman's reproductive history, not her bladder issues.

A) Oral contraceptive usage? Really? I thought ectopic pregnancies only happened to people who didn't use birth control.
