Question 3 of 5
An infertility specialist is evaluating whether a woman's cervical mucus contains enough estrogen to support sperm motility. Which of the following tests is the physician conducting?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Ferning capacity refers to the ability of cervical mucus to form a fern-like pattern under a microscope when it is close to ovulation. This pattern indicates the presence of estrogen, which is essential for supporting sperm motility. By assessing ferning capacity, the infertility specialist can determine if the woman's cervical mucus contains enough estrogen to facilitate the movement of sperm for successful fertilization. This test helps in evaluating the quality of cervical mucus and its role in the fertility process. The other options (Basal body temperature, Colposcopy, Hysterotomy) are not directly related to assessing estrogen levels in cervical mucus for sperm motility.

This is important to assess the well-being of the baby and ensure there are no signs of distress. Once the fetal heart tone is confirmed, the nurse can proceed with notifying the physician, changing bed linen, and encouraging the mother to go for a walk as needed. But the priority should always be to assess the fetal well-being in such a situation.
