ABSTRACT

A protocol is described which can be used by nurses and nurse practitioners who provide oral contraceptives (OCs)

to college students. A list of relevant and necessary subjective, objective, and laboratory assessments is given;

contraindications are defined and categorized as absolute, strong relative (which require refer to a physician) and

possibly relative (which require consultation with a physician). The latter are further categorized as those which may
