Questions on Infertility Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of preconception education. Which statement by the client indicates additional education is needed?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because buying a small desk for a laptop computer is unrelated to preconception education. This statement does not demonstrate any understanding or action related to preparing for a healthy pregnancy. Choices A, B, and D all show a proactive approach towards preconception health by addressing smoking cessation, prenatal vitamin intake with folic acid, and avoiding harmful chemicals, respectively.
Question 2 of 5
A patient undergoing ovarian stimulation reports mild bloating and abdominal discomfort. What is the nurse's appropriate response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because bloating and abdominal discomfort can be early signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, a serious condition that requires monitoring. Choice B is incorrect as these symptoms can indeed be related to ovarian stimulation. Choice C is incorrect as abdominal discomfort does not guarantee successful ovulation. Choice D is incorrect as these symptoms do not necessarily suggest treatment ineffectiveness. Monitoring and assessing for signs of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome are crucial in this scenario.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse educator is conducting a class for student nurses on X-linked recessive disorders. Which responses from a student nurse indicate that further education is needed?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because it is incorrect to assume that if a male doesn't have an X-linked disorder, then his children won't either. This statement overlooks the fact that the male could carry the recessive gene and pass it on to his daughters, who could then become carriers. This demonstrates a lack of understanding of how X-linked recessive disorders are inherited. A: This statement is correct as males cannot be carriers of X-linked recessive disorders. C: This statement is correct as females who are carriers have a 50% chance of passing on the recessive gene to their daughters. D: This statement is correct as sons of carrier females have a 50% chance of inheriting the X-linked recessive disorder.
Question 4 of 5
A patient and her husband request to view the results of their infant's karyotype. An aneuploidy was noted. The nurse understands the results to indicate what?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: A karyotype is a visual representation of an individual's chromosomes. An aneuploidy indicates an abnormal number of chromosomes, which can result in genetic disorders such as Down syndrome. A karyotype shows the number, size, and shape of chromosomes, so an abnormal number of chromosomes on the karyogram is the correct interpretation. Summary of Other Choices: B: Translocations involve the movement of genetic material between chromosomes, not an abnormal number of chromosomes. C: Chromosomal breaks would not typically result in an aneuploidy but rather structural abnormalities. D: Duplication of chromosomes to total 46 would not lead to aneuploidy but rather a normal chromosome count.
Question 5 of 5
Which situation best describes secondary infertility in a couple?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because secondary infertility refers to the inability of a couple to conceive after having one or more children without any fertility issues. This situation indicates that the couple had a successful pregnancy in the past but is now facing difficulties conceiving again. A, B, and C are incorrect: A: Never conceived - This does not align with the definition of secondary infertility as it involves a previous successful pregnancy. B: Had repeated spontaneous abortions - This refers to recurrent pregnancy loss, not secondary infertility. C: Not conceived after 1 year of unprotected intercourse - This describes primary infertility, not secondary infertility.
