A client who has a blood pressure of 140\/90 mm Hg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Hypertension is a contraindication for oral contraceptives. Elevated blood pressure can increase the risk of cardiovascular events when using hormonal contraceptives. Therefore, this client has a contraindication.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B. A client who has a menstrual cycle every 14 days.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Frequent menstrual cycles alone do not generally contraindicate the use of oral contraceptives. However, this might be a sign of an underlying condition that needs further evaluation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C. A client who has a hematocrit of 39%.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> A hematocrit of 39% is within the normal range (approximately 36-46% for females). This finding does not contraindicate the use of oral contraceptives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. A 15-year-old client who has acne.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Explanation:<\/strong> Acne is not a contraindication for oral contraceptives. In fact, oral contraceptives are sometimes prescribed to manage acne in adolescents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong> The client with elevated blood pressure of 140\/90 mm Hg has a contraindication to oral contraceptives due to the increased risk of cardiovascular complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The correct answer is A.
