    ATI nurs 180 Pharmacology Final Proctored Exam

    The nurse is preparing to discharge a client newly prescribed a progestin-only pill (POP) for contraceptive prevention. Which contraindication associated with POP would the nurse alert the healthcare provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. A BMI greater than 30 is a consideration, but it is not an absolute contraindication for the use of POPs. B. Ginger does not interact adversely with progestin-only pills and is not a contraindication. C. A history of hypertension can increase the risk of cardiovascular events, and while POPs are generally safer than combined hormonal contraceptives for women with hypertension, it should still be monitored and reported to the healthcare provider. D. Having no intention of conceiving is not a contraindication; in fact, it is a common reason for using contraceptive methods like POPs.
