Which option describes the unique aspect of the vaginal ring NuvaRing compared to Annovera?

  1. Used for one month only

  2. Can be washed and used for 1 year

  3. Needs to be replaced daily

  4. Has a higher AUC than pills

The correct answer is: Used for one month only

The unique aspect of NuvaRing compared to Annovera is that it is used for one month only. This means that the ring only needs to be inserted once a month, while Annovera needs to be inserted and replaced every 3 weeks. The other options, such as being able to wash and reuse the ring for 1 year or needing to be replaced daily, are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the specific difference between NuvaRing and Annovera. Option D, stating that NuvaRing has a higher AUC than pills, is also incorrect as AUC (area under the curve) is a measure of drug absorption in the body, and is not a unique aspect of the vaginal ring.
