Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the absolute contraindication (WHO MEC Category 4) for the 37-year-old heavy smoker seeking an oral method.
Estrogen-containing combined oral contraceptives are contraindicated.
There is an unacceptably high risk of thromboembolism and myocardial infarction. A progestin-only pill is the safest oral option.
2
Identify the absolute contraindication for the patient with Wilson disease seeking an intrauterine method.
The copper IUD is contraindicated.
Wilson disease prevents normal copper excretion. The LNG-IUD is a safe intrauterine alternative.
3
Identify the absolute contraindication for the patient with active PID seeking a non-daily method.
All IUD insertions are contraindicated.
Inserting an IUD during active PID can worsen the infection. The etonogestrel implant is a safe, non-daily alternative.
4
Identify the absolute contraindication for the patient with a history of breast cancer seeking a long-acting method.
All hormonal contraceptives are contraindicated.
Breast cancer is hormonally sensitive. The hormone-free copper IUD is the safest highly effective long-acting choice.

Anahtar Kavram

Selecting appropriate contraceptive methods requires recognizing WHO Medical Eligibility Criteria (MEC) Category 4 (absolute) contraindications, such as avoiding estrogen in older smokers, avoiding copper IUDs in Wilson disease, avoiding IUD insertions during active PID, and avoiding all systemic hormones in breast cancer patients.
