Correct answer: B — Advise duration depends on device type and age at insertion
Advise duration depends on device type and age at insertion is the best answer because the vignette is testing IUD duration and the recommended approach is consistent with FSRH Intrauterine Contraception. The other advice would give incomplete safety-netting, miss a contraindication, or use guidance intended for a different clinical setting. Specifically, Offer combined hormonal contraception; Seek same-day care if fever or systemic symptoms develop; Keep a symptom diary before review; Delay hormonal contraception for five days after ulipristal would be suboptimal in this scenario. Good advice includes both the guideline recommendation and clear safety-netting.
