Which term refers to a T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy?

• A. Miscarriage
• B. Pyelonephritis
• C. Intrauterine Device - IUD
• D. Intrauterine Pregnancy - IUP

Answer: (C)

The concept tested is identifying a contraception tool that is placed inside the uterus in a T shape. The best choice is an intrauterine device, or IUD. It’s a long-acting, reversible form of contraception inserted through the cervix into the uterus, and it comes in both hormonal and copper forms. Its distinctive T shape helps it stay in place within the uterine cavity for years, preventing pregnancy.

The other terms don’t fit: miscarriage refers to the spontaneous loss of a pregnancy, pyelonephritis is a kidney infection, and intrauterine pregnancy simply means a pregnancy located in the uterus, not a device.
