Question 3 of 5
The client asks the nurse if there is anything he could do to impregnate his wife because his sperm count is "only 40 million." In responding to the client, which factor should the nurse consider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A. Gonadotoxins are chemicals, drugs, or other substances that have a toxic or suppressive effect on sperm production, motility, or morphology. It is premature to examine the client's lifestyle because the client's sperm count is adequate. B. Although 40 million sperm/mL of semen is less than the normal of 60 to 100 million, the number is adequate for fertilization through intercourse. C. There is no need to utilize testosterone supplements for this client. D. The incidence of impregnation is lessened only when the sperm count decreases to less than 20 million/mL. The client should be reassured. The normal sperm count is 60 to 100 million sperm/mL of semen.
