ANS: C
When beginning oral contraceptives, it is important that the patient use another form of contraception for the first month, because protection is not immediate. Breakthrough spotting is common and is not an indication for starting a new cycle. Protection from pregnancy is not immediate. It is important to take the pills at the same time each day.
