Question

what is an advantage of using a hormonal implant?
○ it is easily inserted in the vagina
○ it is a 100 percent effective method of birth control.
○ it reduces the likelihood of contracting an std.
○ it can prevent pregnancy for as long as four years.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Hormonal implants are inserted under the skin (e.g., in the arm), not the vagina, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: No birth control method (including hormonal implants) is 100% effective at preventing pregnancy, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Hormonal implants do not protect against STDs (STDs are prevented by methods like condoms), so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: Hormonal implants (like Nexplanon) can provide contraception for up to 4 years, which is a key advantage.

Answer:

D. It can prevent pregnancy for as long as four years.
