What is one difference between the copper IUC and the LNG-IUC?

  • A. efficacy
  • B. placement in the uterus
  • C. presence of a normal period
  • D. shape
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: placement in the uterus. The copper IUC and LNG-IUC differ in where they are positioned in the uterus. The copper IUC is a T-shaped device placed in the uterus to prevent pregnancy through copper ions, while the LNG-IUC releases hormones and is also placed in the uterus but is a different shape, typically a smaller T or a rounded shape. The placement of the device is crucial for its effectiveness and type of hormone release. Other choices (A) efficacy, (C) presence of a normal period, and (D) shape, do not directly differentiate between the two types of IUCs.
