Use is the double e’s so think estrogen and progesterone we think e for emboli since there’s a big risk for embolic events and that’s why it’s not given to patients who are at high risk for clots or history of clots like someone with an mi or heart attack clot in the heart or a dvt a clot in the leg even pe clotting lung or even cva stroke clot in the brain
And we avoid giving to those with a high risk for clots like those who smoke or have hypertension so the hessie mentions estrogen and smoking means an increased risk for blood clots so if you smoke and take birth control watch out for blood clot city now estrogen is contraindicated for a patient with thrombophlebitis that was the second question mentioned by
Hesi so thrombi in the thrombophlebitis is that blood clot causing that vein inflammation and irritation and kaplan mentioned a priority finding is a client taking estrogen with reported left leg pain behind the knee this is reported as possible dvt now for the key points here big thing is patient teaching so we teach our patients do not smoke as mentioned by
The hessi and we report severe leg pain swelling as well as vision loss this could indicate a dvt or even a cva that stroke and ati mentioned something very interesting we do not take with carbamezapine which is an anticonvulsant which makes oral contraceptives ineffective now another question bank mentioned that medroxy progesterone acetate we instruct clients
That ovulation may not occur for a few months while using this medication since it interacts with ovulation and can disrupt regular cycles now a common side effect that’s not really mentioned on question banks is we don’t need to report any type of breast tenderness or spotting between cycles or menses this usually improves within three months when first starting
