4 14. Please indicate whether the following statement is True or False: To determine if LAM is effective, providers should teach the woman to ask herself the three questions in the LAM algorithm: 1) Have your menses returned?; 2) Are you regularly supplementing or allowing more than four to six hours between breastfeedings?; and 3) Is your baby more than six months old? If the answer to one of the questions is yes, the woman should initiate another contraceptive method which does not interfere with breastfeeding. True False 15. Important programmatic issues for family planning providers include which of the following? Check all that a. Providers should receive training and develop skills to effectively teach LAM to clients. b. Provisions should be made to ensure that women have access to other contraceptive methods before LAM expires. c.

Ongoing research is still needed to examine which strategies and procedures are most effective when introducing LAM into a family planning program. 16.

The choice to initiate LAM should be made by the provider, once the woman is considered to be a good candidate. c. LAM is a safe and highly effective contraceptive option for breastfeeding mothers and their infants when used correctly. d. Most women who choose LAM have used several other contraceptive options before, so it will not be necessary to cover all the available postpartum family planning options in detail. 17.

5 18. Which of the following contraceptive methods can be used without restriction by breastfeeding women immediately postpartum? Check all that a. POPs. b. Condoms. c. COCs. d.

They pass through the mother's bloodstream and into the breastmilk. b. They cause excessive weight gain in the baby. c. They decrease the amount of milk produced by the mother. d. They interfere with the return of initial menses for the mother. 20. Please indicate whether the following statement is True or False. Some family planning policies prohibit providers from dispensing steroidal contraceptives to women who are breastfeeding this type of policy places many women at risk for pregnancy because they choose to continue breastfeeding after the period of lactational amenorrhea. Other countries, however, have adopted policies that encourage the immediate postpartum use of combined estrogenic contraceptive methods that are inappropriate for breastfeeding women. Acceptance and promotion of LAM as a contraceptive option may lessen the problems of providing appropriate contraceptive choices for breastfeeding women. True False 21. In a situation with limited nutritional supplements and a malnourished mother, it is preferable to: a. Supplement the baby s diet. b. Supplement the mother s diet. c. Wean the baby. d. Malnourished women should not be encouraged to breastfeed. 22. Please indicate whether the following statements related to use of LAM by working women are True or False. a.
