Infertility Questions and Answers Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient and her husband have just been told their unborn child has Down syndrome. The patient's husband becomes upset, stating, 'There is no way this can be possible as we have no one in the family with this problem! You must run the test again because the results cannot be correct.' What does the husband's behavior represent?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Denial. The husband's behavior of refusing to accept the test results and requesting them to be run again indicates denial. Denial is a common defense mechanism where individuals reject reality to avoid facing uncomfortable truths. The husband's disbelief due to lack of family history reflects denial in coping with the unexpected news. Sorrow (B), Anger (C), and Bargaining (D) are not applicable in this context as the husband's reaction does not demonstrate sadness, hostility, or attempts to negotiate a different outcome.
Question 2 of 5
What is a typical characteristic of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) affecting fertility?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increased androgen levels. In PCOS, there is often an imbalance in hormone levels, including increased androgens like testosterone. This can disrupt normal ovulation and affect fertility. Regular ovulation (choice A) is typically not seen in PCOS. Reduced ovarian size (choice C) is not a typical characteristic, as ovaries can actually be enlarged in PCOS due to multiple small cysts. High levels of estrogen throughout the cycle (choice D) is not a defining feature of PCOS, as estrogen levels can vary in affected individuals. Ultimately, the increased androgen levels in PCOS are a key factor contributing to fertility issues in affected individuals.
