Correct answer: D — Delay removal or provide alternative EC plan because sperm may survive
If an effective IUD is removed after recent UPSI, sperm survival can create pregnancy risk. Removal can be delayed or EC/bridging contraception discussed. A pregnancy test today will not exclude conception from sex two days ago.
