Infertility Quiz Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
A patient undergoing IUI asks why sperm washing is performed. What is the nurse's explanation?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because sperm washing in IUI concentrates healthy sperm, removing debris and non-motile sperm, increasing the chance of fertilization. Choice B is incorrect as sperm washing is not specifically for IVF. Choice C is incorrect, as genetic abnormalities are not directly related to sperm washing. Choice D is incorrect, as sperm washing does not affect ovulation timing.
Question 2 of 5
A patient is being interviewed by the nurse. During the family history assessment, the patient reports having had relatives with cancer. Which is the nurse's best response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Correct Answer: A Rationale: 1. Completing a pedigree allows for a visual representation of the family's health history. 2. Noting the types of cancer and affected relatives helps identify patterns and potential genetic risks. 3. This response demonstrates a proactive approach to understanding the patient's genetic predispositions. Summary of other choices: B: Asking about the gender of affected relatives does not provide as much detailed information about the types of cancer or specific family members affected. C: Determining relevance to personal history is important, but a pedigree provides a broader picture for risk assessment. D: Referring to a genetic counselor may be necessary but completing a pedigree first helps gather essential information for a more informed consultation.
Question 3 of 5
Large amounts of leukocytes in the seminal fluid suggest a clinical finding of
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Large amounts of leukocytes in seminal fluid indicate an infection of the genital tract. Leukocytes are white blood cells that are typically present in response to an infection. In this context, their presence suggests an ongoing inflammatory response to combat the infection. This finding is consistent with an infection in the genital tract, which could be caused by various pathogens. Therefore, choice C is the correct answer. Choice A (inadequate fructose) is incorrect because leukocytes are not directly related to fructose levels in the seminal fluid. Choice B (inflammation of the testes) is incorrect as the presence of leukocytes in seminal fluid does not necessarily indicate testicular inflammation. Choice D (obstruction in the vas deferens) is also incorrect as leukocytes are not typically associated with vas deferens obstruction.
Question 4 of 5
A woman who is undergoing infertility testing states, "My husband won't discuss this with me. I don't think he cares about or wants a baby." The nurse's ideal response is
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because it acknowledges the husband's potential difficulty in expressing his feelings, validating the woman's concerns while also offering empathy. It is important to recognize that discussing infertility can be emotionally challenging for both partners, and the response shows understanding and support. Choice A is incorrect as it suggests confrontation, which may escalate the situation and lead to further communication breakdown. Choice B implies a lack of understanding on the husband's part, which may not be the case. Choice C is a generalization and may not address the specific dynamics of this couple's situation.
Question 5 of 5
A woman is in the first stage of labor. The nurse would encourage her to assume which position to facilitate the progress of labor?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Research shows that upright positions help reduce the length of labor, improve progress, fetal head descent, reduce pain, and result in a good Apgar score. Recumbent positions can lead to supine hypotension and decrease uterine activity, hindering labor progress. Therefore, encouraging an upright position is the best choice for facilitating labor.
