100 Questions and Answers About Infertility Questions
Question 1 of 5
A woman undergoing evaluation of infertility states, "At least when we're through with all of these tests, we will know what is wrong." The nurse's best response is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it acknowledges the uncertainty in diagnosing infertility, which can remain unexplained in about 20% of couples even after testing. This response is the best because it provides realistic information without giving false hope or making assumptions. Choice A is incorrect because it asserts that the tests will definitely identify the problem, which is not always the case. Choice B is incorrect as it assumes the problem will be resolved after testing, which may not be true. Choice D is incorrect as it jumps to the conclusion of adoption without addressing the uncertainty of infertility testing.

Question 3 of 5
A woman telephones the prenatal clinic and reports that her water just broke. Which suggestion by the nurse would be most appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: When a woman's water breaks, there is an increased risk of infection and cord prolapse, making it important for the woman to seek evaluation at the clinic or emergency department. Waiting for contractions to start, drinking water and lying down, and waiting to come in only when feeling the urge to push are not appropriate responses in this situation.
Question 4 of 5
A nurse is describing how the fetus moves through the birth canal. Which component would the nurse identify as being most important in allowing the fetal head to move through the pelvis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Sutures are important because they allow the cranial bones to overlap in order for the head to adjust in shape when pressure is exerted on it. Fontanelles are the intersections formed by the sutures. The frontal bones and biparietal diameter are not as crucial in allowing the fetal head to move through the pelvis.
